SATISH KUMAR GUPTA AND ETC. ETC. vs STATE OF HARYANA AND ORS. ETC.

The Supreme Court addressed whether a post-acquisition allottee of land has the locus standi to be heard in compensation determinations under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. The Court held that such an allottee is a necessary party in compensation matters, affirming the High Court's decision to allow additional evidence and remand the case for fresh disposal. The judgment clarified the applicability of previous rulings, including HSIDC v. Pran Sukh and HSIDC v. Udal, emphasizing the need for comprehensive consideration of evidence in compensation assessments.
