Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that in land acquisition cases, compensation should be calculated based on the income from fruit-bearing trees rather than solely on land value, as per the Land Acquisition Act, 1984. The Court affirmed that the appellants are entitled to additional compensation, solatium, and interest under Section 28 of the Act on the calculated compensation. The decision clarified that any previously received compensation based on land value would be adjusted with interest, ensuring fair compensation for the appellants.
