Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal by the New Okhla Industrial Development Authority (NOIDA) against the Allahabad High Court's decision to condone a 22-year delay in filing appeals by landowners and enhance compensation for acquired land to Rs.149 per sq. yard. The court considered the implications of the delay on the financial burden of NOIDA and referenced previous judgments regarding compensation rates. Ultimately, the court upheld the High Court's decision, emphasizing the rights of landowners to fair compensation.
