M/S Ultra Tech Cement Limited vs Mast Ram

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's order directing the appellant to pay compensation under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, specifically citing Sections 4, 17, and 11(1). The Court established that the acquisition was for a public purpose, as the land contained vital raw materials for cement manufacturing, thus validating the invocation of urgency provisions. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision and the compensation awarded by the Land Acquisition Collector.
