Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of compensation for land acquisition under the National Highways Act. The court emphasized the need for fair compensation and adherence to statutory provisions while determining the amount payable to landowners. The judgment reinforced the principle that land acquisition should be just and equitable, leading to a directive for recalculating compensation in accordance with the law.
