Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the application of Section 28A of The Land Acquisition Act, 1894, regarding the re-determination of compensation when an award is pending appeal. The Court held that the Land Acquisition Collector can only entertain one application under Section 28A for enhancement of compensation based on a court award, and successive applications for further enhancements are not permissible. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's ruling that limited the number of applications under Section 28A.
