Hori Lal vs The State Of Uttar Pradesh Revenue ...

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the Allahabad High Court's dismissal of a writ petition challenging the validity of land acquisition proceedings under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. The Court held that the repeal of the Act, 1894 did not invalidate the compensation determination made under the new Act, 2013, as the compensation would be based on market value as of 01.01.2014. The Court affirmed the High Court's decision, allowing the appellant to seek a reference for compensation determination under the Act, 2013.
