Kazi Akiloddin Sujaoddin vs State Of Maharashtra & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the legality of the High Court's directive for the State of Maharashtra to deposit rental compensation at 8% per annum on the award value under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. The Court held that while the Act does not provide for rental compensation, the State's own resolutions allow for such payments, and thus the High Court's order was justified. The Court affirmed the High Court's decision to permit the appellant to withdraw 50% of the deposited amount upon providing security, pending the appeal.
