SABHIA MD.YUSUF A.H.MULLA(D) BY LRS.&ORS vs SPL.LAND ACQN.OFFR..

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of compensation for land acquired under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, specifically under Section 28A for redetermination of market value. The Court held that the appellants were entitled to enhanced compensation due to the non-agricultural potential of the land, which was not adequately considered by the Special Land Acquisition Officer. The Court emphasized that the absence of evidence from the officer regarding the land's development status warranted a reassessment of compensation, ultimately ruling in favor of the appellants.
