Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed appeals regarding the enhancement of compensation for land acquisition under the Hirehalla project. The court noted that the High Court had calculated the market value based on a previous notification, applying a 5% escalation for the time gap between notifications. The appellants sought further enhancement beyond the High Court's determination, but the court upheld the High Court's valuation as reasonable.
