Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Delhi High Court affirming the Single Judge's order for the allotment of 1000 sq. yards of land to Ranjodh Kumar Thakur under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, specifically citing Section 4(1) and Section 18. The Court established that the rejection of Thakur's application for an alternative plot was unjustified as he had previously received compensation for the acquired land. The Court held that the entitlement to compensation does not negate the right to an alternative plot, thereby allowing Thakur's claim.
