casestatus.in Summary

Summary The Supreme Court reversed the High Court's compensation award in this land acquisition case involving 97+ acres near Tenali, Andhra Pradesh. The Court rejected the High Court's reliance on a single 1978 sale deed to determine market value at Rs. 23.50/sq. yard, finding that a prudent buyer would not develop agricultural land requiring Rs. 60,000/acre in leveling costs. Instead, the Court fixed compensation at Rs. 50,000/acre with 30% solatium and 12% per annum interest from notification date (December 9, 1980) until possession (June 20, 1981), rejecting the claimants' appeals for enhancement while setting aside the High Court judgment.
