Summary of Meharban & Ors. v. The State of U.P. & Ors. (1997) The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's compensation awards in three land acquisition cases near Meerut and enhanced the amounts, holding that the High Court erred in reducing compensation without proper evidentiary basis. For Quasimpur Nagla Tashi (235.95 acres), compensation was increased from Rs. 75/- to Rs. 175/- per sq. yard; for Mukarabpur Palhera (416.5 acres) to Rs. 85/- per sq. yard; and for Dantal village (105.23 acres) to Rs. 85/- per sq. yard, accounting for reasonable price appreciation and the lands' proximity to developed Meerut city. Claimants were also entitled to 30% solatium, interest at 9-15% per annum, and additional compensation under Section 23(1-A).
