Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court directed that the appellant, Ajinath Gulab Saykar, should make a representation to the Executive Engineer, Public Works Department, Ahmednagar, for compensation in light of the precedent set in Fula Bhoru Ughade case, where compensation was enhanced from Rs. 40,000 to Rs. 1,00,000. The Court held that if the appellant is similarly situated, he is entitled to the same compensation amount, to be processed within one month of the representation. The appeal was disposed of accordingly, emphasizing adherence to established compensation standards.
