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 if similarly situated claimants have received compensation at a rate of Rs.4,000 per lemon tree, the appellants should not be discriminated against due to delay in filing. The Court also fixed the compensation for pomegranate trees at Rs.3,000 per tree, aligning it with previous judgments, while denying statutory interest for the delay period.
