S.P. Krishnappa & Ors vs Secy., Deptt. Of Revenue & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed land acquisition disputes, emphasizing the need for equitable resolution for landowners who have faced prolonged litigation. The Court ordered the allotment of 4000 sq.ft of land free of cost per acre, capped at 50 cents, to the appellants, ensuring no further litigation on claims or possession related to the land. However, the benefit was denied to appellants in Civil Appeal No.374/2016 due to prior equity resolution. The appeals were disposed of with no costs awarded.
