The Supreme Court addressed the interpretation of solatium under Section 30 of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013. The Court held that the solatium must be calculated solely on the market value of the land and assets, excluding the additional 12% per annum stipulated under subsection (3) of Section 30. Consequently, the Court set aside the High Court's directive to reassess the compensation amount, affirming the Appellate Authority's calculation that included the 12% additional sum.
