Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court ruled on the compensation for land acquired under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, specifically addressing Sections 4(1), 6(1), and 28A. The Court held that the Reference Court correctly determined that the acquired land had non-agricultural potential, rejecting the Special Land Acquisition Officer's valuation based on its agricultural use at the time of notification. The Court upheld the Reference Court's decision to enhance compensation, emphasizing the importance of current market conditions and potential use of the land.
