Zile Singh vs State Of Haryana And Ors

The Supreme Court modified the compensation valuation for acquired lands, stating that a cut of 33.33% is appropriate instead of the 60% cut imposed by the High Court, as the lands are within developed municipal limits. The Court referenced Section 23(1A) and Section 23(2) of the Land Acquisition Act, affirming that landowners are entitled to interest under Section 28. The appeal was allowed in line with the precedent set in Ashrafi and Others Vs. State of Haryana & Others, thereby reassessing the compensation accordingly.
