Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision regarding compensation for land acquisition under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, specifically referencing Section 4 and Section 6. The Court found that the compensation awarded for village Bhuri was justified based on the established rate for the adjacent village Maljipara, as there was no evidence of distinguishing features between the two lands. The appeals by Gujarat Mineral Development Corporation were dismissed, affirming the compensation rate set by the Reference Court and the High Court.
