Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the Delhi High Court's order dismissing the plaintiffs' suit for possession of land, asserting ownership and possession rights. The Court held that the defendant, Jagdish Prasad, was entitled to compensation under Section 30 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 for the unexpired lease period, emphasizing that the lessee's rights must be considered in compensation matters. The Court ultimately upheld the High Court's decision, affirming the dismissal of the plaintiffs' claim for possession.
