UNION OF INDIA vs BRAHM PRAKASH . — SLP(C) No. 7745/2007

Summary of SLP(C) No. 007745/2007 The Supreme Court dismissed the Union of India's special leave petition challenging the Delhi High Court's decision to enhance land compensation. The High Court had increased market value of agricultural land in Village Bakarwala (acquired in 1993 for a Water Treatment Plant) from Rs. 1,08,000 to Rs. 1,32,000 per bigha, relying on sale transactions from nearby Village Mundaka. The Supreme Court upheld this determination, finding the High Court had rightly applied the principle that comparable sale deeds are the best evidence for determining fair market value, and declined to interfere with the marginal increase.
