In land acquisition matters under the Land Acquisition Act, where similarly circumstanced landowners have already been granted enhanced compensation by a coordinate bench, the doctrine of parity entitles subsequent claimants in identical circumstances to the same quantum of compensation, including applicable statutory benefits. Determination of market value must be based on the predominant rate reflected in comparative sale deed evidence, subject to a standard deduction for development and smallness of acquired parcels. This analysis, as tracked on casestatus.in, confirms that a 50% deduction from the prevalent market rate of Rs. 1,280 per square yard yields an enhanced compensation of Rs. 640 per square yard.
