Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of whether interest on solatium is payable from the date of possession or from a later date as per previous judgments. The court upheld the High Court's decision that interest should be granted from the date of possession, rejecting the appellant's argument based on earlier case law. The court emphasized the importance of adhering to established precedents regarding compensation and interest in land acquisition cases.
