The Court rejected the petitioner's condonation applications for delayed filing (222-303 days) as unsatisfactory and found no legal infirmity in the concurrent findings of both lower courts regarding the land's location, development potential, and market value based on comparable sales evidence. The petitioner was ordered to pay Rs.25,000 costs per petition to the Madras State Legal Services Authority within one month, and the State Government and Housing Board were directed to pay respondents' compensation within three months.
