Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed multiple civil appeals concerning 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 appeals were partly allowed, and the matter was remanded for recalculation of compensation based on the guidelines set forth by the court.
