Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeals regarding compensation for land acquired under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, specifically Sections 4 and 18. The Court held that the High Court's reliance on the Swaran Singh case for determining compensation was flawed, as it did not adequately consider the specific circumstances and evidence presented, including various sale deeds. The Court ultimately set aside the High Court's compensation rate of Rs.3610 per square meter, indicating the need for a more nuanced approach to valuation.
