Mrugendra Indravadan Mehta vs Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Gujarat High Court, affirming the dismissal of the plaintiffs' claim for higher compensation under the Gujarat Town Planning and Urban Development Act, 1976. The Court found that the compensation of ₹25 per sq. mt. for the deducted area was reasonable given the circumstances, and that the plaintiffs had been adequately compensated for the land taken under the Town Planning Scheme. The Court emphasized that the plaintiffs' entitlement to compensation was governed by the provisions of the Act of 1976, and the delay in possession did not warrant an increase in compensation.
