Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeals regarding compensation for land acquired under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, specifically Sections 4 and 18. The Court upheld the High Court's decision to increase the compensation to Rs. 11,15,098/- per acre for both irrigated and waste land, citing the land's residential and commercial potential. However, the Court found the High Court's deduction of 1/3rd of the land's value to be unjustified, as the land was within a developed area, leading to a remand for reassessment of compensation without the deduction.
