The Court modified conflicting interim orders passed by different High Court benches, standardizing them by requiring the appellant to deposit 50% of enhanced compensation within four weeks, allowing claimants to withdraw 25% without security and invest the remaining 25% in interest-bearing deposits pending High Court disposal. The Court urged expeditious High Court hearing given the decade-old acquisition. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
