GIAN KAUR & ORS. ETC. vs THE AMRITSAR IMPROVEMENT TRUST . — C.A. No. 5589 - 5592/2012

Case Summary: C.A. No. 5589-5592/2012 - Gian Kaur v. Amritsar Improvement Trust The Supreme Court dismissed the consolidated appeals challenging the High Court's land valuation determination in an Amritsar Improvement Trust land acquisition case. The Court upheld the High Court's market value assessment of Rs. 18.50 per square yard, rejecting appellants' argument for Rs. 40 per square yard based on maximum sale instances. The Court clarified that the precedent cited (Anjani Molu Dessai) does not mandate using highest exemplar prices; averaging comparable sale deeds is appropriate, particularly when subject land (323 acres) vastly exceeds exemplar sizes, and applying 25% deduction was reasonable and fair.
