The Supreme Court addressed whether an Award from a Lok Adalat under the Legal Services Authorities Act, 1987 can be used as a basis for redetermining compensation under Section 28A of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. The court held that such an Award is valid and can indeed serve as a foundation for compensation redetermination, thereby reinforcing the efficacy of Lok Adalats in resolving disputes related to land acquisition.
