Chanabasappa vs Karnataka Neeravari Nigam Ltd. And ...

The Supreme Court upheld the enhancement of compensation awarded to the appellant under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, by the Karnataka High Court. The court noted that the original survey for the Malprabha Reservoir Project was inadequate, leading to improper assessment of land submerged due to the dam's height increase. The court confirmed the compensation amount of Rs. 3,00,000 per acre and the interest awarded from the date of the original award.
