Summary: The Supreme Court dismissed multiple Special Leave Petitions filed by the Tamil Nadu Housing Board's Tahsildar challenging a High Court judgment that reduced the market value of acquired land from Rs. 7,000 to Rs. 6,000 per cent. The Court rejected the petitioner's delay condonation applications as unsatisfactory and found no legal infirmity in the High Court's decision, which was based on concurrent findings by both the Reference Court and High Court regarding the land's location, development potential, and comparable sale instances. The Court imposed costs of Rs. 25,000 per petition (to be deposited within one month) and directed state authorities to pay compensation to respondents within three months, with a compliance report to the High Court.
