S.P. KRISHNAPPA vs SECY., DEPTT. OF REVENUE .

The Supreme Court, in a series of civil appeals concerning land acquisition, ordered that landowners be allotted 4000 sq.ft of land free of cost per acre, resolving long-standing disputes. The Court emphasized that this order aims to serve the interests of justice and prevent further litigation regarding claims or possession of the land. However, the benefit of this order was not extended to one of the appeals as equity had already been addressed in a prior ruling. The appeals were disposed of with no costs awarded.
