Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal regarding the enhancement of compensation for land acquired under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. The court upheld the High Court's decision to increase the compensation to Rs. 3,00,000 per acre, emphasizing the inadequacy of the original award and the failure to properly survey the land that would be submerged due to the dam's height increase. The court also clarified the applicability of interest under Section 34 of the Act from the date of the award.
