Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of compensation under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, specifically under Section 18, which allows for reference to a District Court for enhancement of compensation. The Court upheld the Reference Court's determination of compensation, emphasizing the need for fair valuation of acquired land and assets, including trees and wells. The outcome confirmed the increased compensation awarded by the Reference Court, thereby ensuring just compensation for the landowners.
