Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court allowed the appeals against the interim orders of the Bombay High Court, which had rejected the appellants' request for the release of enhanced compensation. The Court directed that 50% of the enhanced compensation be released without security, while the remaining 50% would be released upon the appellants providing security to the satisfaction of the Collector. This decision emphasizes the need for fair compensation distribution in land acquisition cases.
