Abhinash Chand & Ors vs State Of H.P.& Ors

The Supreme Court held that in land acquisition cases, the Reference Court must consider all relevant documents and potential value of the land. The Court found that the Reference Court unjustifiably ignored a document fixing the land value at Rs. 9,000 per marla and determined that the fair compensation should be Rs. 10,000 per marla, considering the land's location and inclusion in municipal limits. The appeals were allowed, and the appellants were entitled to all statutory benefits.
