Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court granted leave and disposed of the appeals, allowing the appellants to have the land value refixed at Rs. 6.5 Lakhs per acre, as previously established in Civil Appeal No. 11359 of 2016. The Court held that the appellants, being similarly situated, are entitled to the same valuation but clarified that they would not receive any statutory interest for the period of delay. The decision reinforces the principle of equal treatment in land acquisition matters.
