Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of compensation for land acquired under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, specifically under Section 4(1). The Court held that claimants for pomegranate trees should receive compensation at the rate of Rs.3000 per tree, aligning with previous judgments for similar acquisitions. The Court emphasized that claimants should not be discriminated against due to delays in filing, but they would not be entitled to interest for the delay period. The appeals were disposed of with directions for timely compensation disbursement.
