The Supreme Court addressed whether a post-acquisition allottee of land has locus standi in compensation determination under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. It held that such an allottee is a necessary party due to their financial liability for enhanced compensation as per the Conveyance Deed. The Court remanded the matter for fresh disposal, allowing the allottee to be impleaded and additional evidence to be presented, emphasizing the need for proper representation in compensation proceedings under Section 50 of the Act.
