BALWANT SINGH (DEAD) THROUGH LRS. vs HARYANA STATE THROUGH THE COLLECTOR — C.A. No. 5778 - 5780/2011

Summary The Supreme Court partially allowed the appellants' land acquisition compensation appeal. The Court increased compensation from Rs. 15,00,000 per acre (awarded by High Court) to Rs. 18,30,000 per acre for 91 Kanals and 1 Murla of land acquired in Indri, Haryana for a Sewage Treatment Plant. The Court applied a 15% reduction (instead of High Court's 25%) to compensation awarded for comparable adjoining land acquired nine months later, considering annual land price escalation typically ranges 10-12%. The enhanced amount must be deposited with the Reference Court within two months and disbursed to appellants immediately, along with statutory benefits.
