STATE OF RAJASTHAN vs SATISH KUMAR KHATRI

The Supreme Court held that the appellants are entitled to enhanced compensation for their acquired land, determining the market price at Rs. 130 per sq. meter based on parity with adjoining lands. The Court noted that the High Court failed to consider the advantage of road frontage of the appellants' land, which warranted a higher valuation. Consequently, the appeal was partly allowed, granting the appellants the revised compensation along with all statutory benefits.
