Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's enhancement of compensation for acquired land under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, specifically referencing Section 4 and Section 18. The Court established that compensation must reflect the market value based on comparable sale instances, rejecting the argument that large-scale land compensation cannot be determined from smaller sales. The Court affirmed the High Court's decision to set the compensation at Rs.9,00,000/- per acre, thus dismissing the landowners' appeal for further enhancement.
