State Of Haryana And Ors. Etc. Etc. vs Bant Lal Etc. Etc.

The Supreme Court addressed the dispute over land compensation, holding that the Government must return unutilised land to the claimants and remitting the matter to the High Court for a fresh determination of the land value. The Court set aside the High Court's fixation of land value, allowing both parties to present additional evidence. The decision emphasized that the first option provided earlier was not indicative of just compensation, and the State may seek a refund of previously deposited amounts.
