Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeals filed by Nayara Energy Limited challenging the Gujarat High Court's orders allowing claimants to withdraw a portion of the compensation awarded for land acquisition without security. The court found that the High Court's decision to permit withdrawal was not justified, as it undermined the appellant's rights. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's orders and restored the status quo regarding the compensation amount.
