Summary of SLP(C) No. 7742/2007 (Union of India v. Surajmal) The Supreme Court dismissed the Union of India's special leave petition challenging the Delhi High Court's decision to enhance land compensation. Land in Village Bakarwala acquired in 1993 for a Water Treatment Plant had its market value increased from Rs. 1,08,000 to Rs. 1,32,000 per bigha based on comparable sale transactions from nearby Village Mundaka. The Court upheld the High Court's reasoning that sale deeds from proximate villages constitute the best evidence for determining fair market value and found no error warranting interference with the marginal enhancement awarded.
