Beta, Supreme Court only. We check Supreme Court of India judgments only for now: a High Court citation reads "Not in our corpus", which never means it does not exist.

Cited by

We found no other Supreme Court judgment we hold that cites this one.

Counted only in the Supreme Court judgments we hold whose text we could read, not in High Court judgments. We match each citation to a judgment automatically, so a citation we cannot match is not counted. "Cited" says only that a judgment refers to this one, not whether it followed, distinguished or overruled it.

The Court's text

Paragraphs from our copy of the Supreme Court Reports print, with the Court's own paragraph numbers, the printed page and, where printed, the margin letter. The Court did not number this judgment's paragraphs, so they are listed by page. Link to paragraph N with #para-N.

Notification under s.4(10 of the Land Acquisition Act 1 of 1898 (for short 'the Act') was published on July 3, 1979. The Land Acquisition Collector classified the land and awarded the compensation @ Rs. 2,000 to 3.000 per bigha to the respective lands. On reference under s.18, the reference court enhanced the market value to Rs. 8,500 to Rs. 6,500 per bigha while maintaining classification of the land. In First Appeal No. 81/86 and other connected cases by Judgment and decree dated January 30, 1989, Guwahati High Court affirmed that award and decree of the reference court. Thus these appeals by special leave.

We have gone through the judgment of the Reference Court vis-avis the judgment of the High Court. We found, on the facts and circumstances of the case, that appropriate market value would be Rs. 4,875 and Rs. 6,375 instead of Rs. 6,500 and 8,500 respectively for the lands as it would reflect the prevailing market value as on the date of the Notification, namely, July 3, 1979. Accordingly, the market value is determined at Rs. - 4,875 and Rs. 6,375 per bigha as per the classification, nature and quality of the lands. Award of the reference court being made after the Amendment Act had come into force, the claimants are entitled to the statutory benefits of the Amendment Act 68 of 1984. Accordingly, the claimants are entitled to 30% solatium on the enhanced compensation, 9% interest for one year and 15% interest thereafter from the date of taking possession on the enhanced compensation till date of deposit or payment, whichever is earlier. They are also entitled to 12% of the additional amount under s.23(1-A) of the Act. The appeals are disposed of accordingly. The award
