Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that in land acquisition cases, appellants similarly situated to those in prior judgments are entitled to the same compensation. The Court awarded compensation at the rate of Rs. 6.5 Lakhs per acre along with statutory benefits, referencing its earlier decision in Civil Appeal No. 11359 of 2016. However, it clarified that no statutory benefits would be granted for delays in the appeal or review process.
