Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court reversed the Orissa High Court's decision that set aside the Civil Judge's order granting the appellant 50% of the compensation for land acquired under the Land Acquisition Act. The court emphasized the need to uphold the findings of the lower court, which had determined the appellant's entitlement based on the evidence presented. Consequently, the Supreme Court reinstated the Civil Judge's order, affirming the appellant's right to compensation.
