Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the appellants are entitled to compensation for land acquisition at the rate of Rs. 65/- per sq. yard, which aligns with the compensation granted to adjacent landowners. The Court emphasized the need for consistency in handling references related to the same acquisition by the same bench to avoid confusion. The appeal was allowed, and while the appellants are entitled to statutory benefits, they will not receive benefits for any delays in the proceedings before the High Court or this Court.
