HARBHAJAN KUMAR(D) TR.LRS. vs COLLECTOR LAQ & COLONIZATION DEPT.

The Supreme Court allowed the appeal for enhancement of compensation for land acquisition, referencing the judgment in Ashrafi and Ors. Vs. State of Haryana (2013) 5 SCC 527, which set the compensation rate at Rs. 7,25,000 per acre. The Court modified the award of the Land Acquisition Officer to align with this precedent, thereby granting the appellants compensation at the same rate. The appeal was disposed of in favor of the appellants.
