    Summary The High Court of Himachal Pradesh held that the Reference Court erred in restricting the appellant's land compensation claim to Rs. 2,00,000 per bigha despite determining the actual market value at Rs. 2,58,704 per bigha. Following Supreme Court precedent, courts are not bound by the amount claimed by claimants and must award compensation based on true market value. The court enhanced the compensation to Rs. 2,58,704 per bigha with statutory benefits, requiring the appellant to pay the difference in court fees accordingly. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
