Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of appeals regarding land acquisition compensation under the Jammu and Kashmir Land Acquisition Act. The Court affirmed the Reference Court's award of Rs.2,50,000/- per Kanal, stating that the appellants failed to provide sufficient evidence to justify an increase to Rs.4,00,000/- per Kanal, as seen in similar cases. The Court emphasized the necessity of evidence in establishing claims for enhanced compensation, thereby maintaining the lower court's decision.
