Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the compensation for land acquisition should be recalculated, reducing the amount awarded by the High Court from Rs.1,46,09,000/- to Rs.95 lakhs per acre, based on the comparable sale method and necessary deductions for development. The Court emphasized the need for a fair assessment of land value, referencing the earlier case of Swaran Singh for base price determination. The appeals were disposed of in accordance with this revised compensation amount, affirming the principle of just compensation under land acquisition laws.
