Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed appeals challenging the High Court's dismissal of compensation enhancement claims under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. The Court upheld the Reference Court's award of Rs.8,00,000 per acre for category-A land and Rs.6,50,000 per acre for category-B land, affirming that the compensation was appropriate and did not warrant further enhancement. The Court emphasized the reliance on a specific conveyance deed as evidence for market value, ultimately dismissing the appeals of the landowners.
