Case Summary: Meerut Development Authority v. Vilas Bhushan & Anr. (CA No. 9071/2003) The Supreme Court granted leave and disposed of 35 consolidated appeals challenging the High Court's enhancement of land acquisition compensation from Rs. 30 to Rs. 126 per square yard. The Court modified inconsistent interim orders passed by different High Court benches by directing uniform deposit of 50% enhanced compensation (with interest and statutory benefits) within four weeks, allowing claimants to withdraw 25% without security and invest the remaining 25% in interest-bearing deposits for two years pending High Court appeal disposal. The Court also directed expeditious High Court hearing given the decade-old acquisition. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
