Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed appeals from landowners seeking enhanced compensation for land acquired for coal excavation by the Singareni Collieries Company. The court examined the adequacy of compensation awarded by the High Court and emphasized the need for fair compensation in accordance with the Land Acquisition Act. Ultimately, the court remanded the matter for re-evaluation of compensation to ensure just remuneration for the affected landowners.
