Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the entitlement of respondents to interest on solatium under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. The court referred to its earlier judgment in Gurpreet Singh vs Union of India, which clarified the legal position regarding interest on solatium. Ultimately, the court upheld the decision of the Madras High Court, which denied interest on solatium, pending a larger bench's decision on the matter.
