Case History
Summary: KM Mohammed Haneefa v. State of Kerala (C.A. No. 453/2002) The Supreme Court allowed the appellants' appeal and set aside the High Court's dismissal of their land acquisition compensation enhancement claim. The State had possessed their 0.3181-hectare land in 1981 for a police station but issued the acquisition notification only in 1992; the Land Acquisition Officer awarded Rs.2,000 per cent, which the subordinate judge enhanced to Rs.4,000 per cent based on a comparable sale. The Court found the High Court improperly dismissed the statutory appeal at admission stage by relying on irrelevant post-possession factors rather than market value criteria under Section 23 of the Land Acquisition Act. The case was remanded to the High Court for fresh adjudication in accordance with law, with no order as to costs.
