Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court's decision to remand the matter to the Reference Court for fresh consideration was unjustified, given that the market value of the land had already been determined at Rs. 65 per sq. yard in previous cases, which had attained finality. The Court affirmed the market value and granted the appellants all statutory benefits without costs. The judgment emphasizes the principle of finality in judicial determinations regarding compensation for land acquisition under the Land Acquisition Act.
