No. 6899/2002) The Supreme Court allowed the appellant's appeal against the High Court's dismissal of his challenge to land acquisition compensation.

(instead of Rs.5-4 per sq. ft.) and declared the appellant entitled to interest on solatium and enhanced compensation. The State Government was directed to pay within three months, and the Special Tahsildar was instructed to inform all affected landholders of their entitlement to equal compensation.
