    Summary The High Court of Himachal Pradesh allowed the appeal and enhanced the land compensation to Rs. 2,58,704/- per bigha (instead of Rs. 2,00,000/- per bigha). The court held that while the reference court correctly determined the market value at Rs. 2,58,704/- per bigha, it wrongly restricted compensation to the lower amount claimed by the petitioners. Following Supreme Court precedent, courts are not bound by the claimed amount but must award fair compensation based on true market value, with appellants required to pay additional court fees on the enhanced amount. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
