Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to enhance compensation for land acquired under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, specifically referencing Section 4(1) and Section 23(1). The Court affirmed that the sale deed dated 27.12.1988 was not relevant as it was a post-notification sale, and thus could not be considered for determining market value. The Court also supported the High Court's deduction of 67.5% for development charges, concluding that the compensation awarded at Rs.2,19,413/- per acre was justified.
