Case Summary: University of Agricultural Sciences v. The Assistant Commissioner (C.A. No. 007481-007487/1997) Outcome: The Supreme Court dismissed all consolidated appeals on December 10, 2003, upholding land acquisition compensation decisions. Applications for substitution of deceased respondents were allowed with delay condonation. No costs were awarded. Key Issues: These consolidated cases involved land acquisition compensation disputes originating from a 1975 Section 4 Notification. The Court rejected the University's challenge to compensation awards, finding the Reference Court's reasoning sound despite the High Court's unreasoned reduction from Rs.75,000 to Rs.50,000 per acre. The Court established that land potentiality must be assessed as of the notification date and rejected indiscriminate reliance on comparable sales from different locations.
