Delhi Development Authority vs Reena Suri And Ors

The Supreme Court addressed multiple civil appeals concerning the Delhi Development Authority's land acquisition and compensation determinations under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. The Court emphasized the necessity of adhering to the principles of fair compensation as mandated by Section 23 of the Act, holding that the compensation awarded must reflect the market value of the land at the time of acquisition. The Court ultimately upheld the lower court's decisions, ensuring that the rights of the landowners were adequately protected under the law.
