Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that in matters of compensation, it is reasonable to release 50% of the enhanced compensation without security, while the remaining 50% should be released upon furnishing security to the satisfaction of the Collector. This decision was made in the context of an appeal against an interim order of the Bombay High Court, which had rejected the appellants' request for such a release. The Court found merit in the appellants' prayer and granted the relief sought.
