Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the valuation determined by the Reference Court under Section 18 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1984 was more just compared to that of the High Court. Consequently, the Court set aside the High Court's judgment and restored the Reference Court's order. The appeals were allowed with no order as to costs, thereby affirming the lower court's valuation.
