    Copy of Judgment

    Summary The District Court set aside an arbitration award regarding land compensation for a National Highway acquisition project. Vijayanand challenged the Competent Authority's compensation of Rs.333/sq.m for his acquired land (3 R in Yenegur village), seeking Rs.15,000/sq.m instead. The arbitrator rejected his claim, but the court found the award vitiated by patent illegality under Section 34(2-A) of the Arbitration Act because the arbitrator failed to independently determine compensation and ignored comparable cases where nearby lands acquired for the same highway received substantially higher rates (Rs.810-900/sq.m), violating the principle of parity. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
