Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed appeals concerning the enhancement of compensation for land acquired under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. The High Court had increased the compensation to Rs. 7,00,000 per acre for both irrigated and non-irrigated lands, which the original landowners contested. The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision, affirming the enhanced compensation as just and reasonable under the circumstances.
