Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court modified the High Court's order regarding compensation for land acquisition under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, specifically addressing the annual increase in compensation. The Court held that a 15% annual increase on a compounding basis should be applied to the exemplar value, rather than the 10% increase previously granted. The Court clarified that no separate compensation would be awarded for fruit-bearing trees and directed the respondents to deposit the revised compensation amount within three months.
