Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the Reference Court and the High Court erred in dismissing the appellants' claim for enhanced compensation under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, specifically under Section 18. The Court emphasized the importance of considering all relevant evidence, including the Sale Deed dated 19.03.1971, which was not adequately discussed by the lower courts. The judgment of the High Court was set aside, and the matter was remanded for fresh consideration of the compensation claim.
