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.
A notification under s.4(1) of the Land Acquisition Act was published in the State Gazette of Punjab on October 26, 1971 acquiring 70 Canals 48 Marlas of land for establishing a Mandi (Market). The Land Acquisition Officer in his award dated February 18, 1972 classified the land into three categories and determined the compensation at Rs. 40,000, Rs. 20,000 & Rs. 10,000 per acre respectively. On reference under s.18, the Additional District Judge in his award and decree dated June 3, 1976 classified the land into 5 categories and determined the compensation at the rate of Rs. 65,000, 50,000, 25,000, 20,000 and 15,000 per acre respectively. Dissatisfied therewith, the claimants filed the appeal. The learned single Judge by his judgment and decree dated August 31, 1979 determined the compensation at a flat rate of Rs. 70,000 per acre of the entire land. The learned single Judge has noted in the judgment that the counsel for the State and the claimants have agreed that the point raised in the appeal was squarely covered by a decision of .that court in State of Punjab v. Chdizd Singh, R.F.A. No. 1413/77 dated August 23, 1979. Following that judgment the State's appeal as well as the claimants' cross objections were disposed of accordingly. The Division Bench dismissed the appeal. Thus, this appeal by special leave.
p. 352, margin C
It is rather unfortunate that nothing has been placed on record whether the State has carried the decision of the Division Bencb in Oiand Singlz's case in appeal to this court and if so what w~s its result. Further, even that judgment has not been made part of record. Therefore, we are not in a position to know on what principle the learned judge had granted a flat rate to the entire land. But in this case since the claimants as well as the State relied upon the said judgment and requested the Court t~ dispose of the matter in terms thereof, without any material on record, it will difficult for this Court to find whether the determination of Rs. 70,000 acre and at a flat rate was proper compensation. Accordingly we constrained to dismiss the appeal for the aforesaid reasons. No costs.
