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 6. The Court affirmed that the sale deed dated 27.12.1988 was not relevant as it was a post-notification sale, and the High Court's application of a 67.5% deduction for development charges was justified. The appeal was dismissed, maintaining the compensation of Rs.2,19,413/- per acre as determined by the High Court.
