Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court ruled that the appellants were entitled to compensation for land acquired under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, specifically citing Section 4 and Section 6. The Court held that the failure to complete the acquisition process and provide compensation constituted a violation of the appellants' rights, as they were deprived of their land without due process. Consequently, the Court overturned the High Court's decision and directed the authorities to compensate the appellants for the land taken without following legal procedures.
