ALI MOHAMMAD BEIGH vs STATE OF J & K

The Supreme Court upheld the compensation awarded under the Jammu and Kashmir Land Acquisition Act, affirming the Reference Court's decision to grant Rs.2,50,000/- per Kanal for land acquired for housing development. The Court noted that the appellants failed to provide sufficient evidence to justify an increase to Rs.4,00,000/- per Kanal, as claimed in their Cross Appeal. The appeals were dismissed, maintaining the lower court's ruling on compensation rates.
