Summary of SLP(C) No. 11725/2006 On 17 September 2012, the Supreme Court dismissed a batch of Special Leave Petitions filed by Patiala Improvement Trust challenging the High Court's order that enhanced compensation for landowners whose property was acquired for the Truck Stand Scheme. The Court upheld the High Court's decision to award compensation at Rs.15, Rs.12, and Rs.10 per square yard (for three blocks), rejecting the Trust's arguments that sales data from small plots should not apply to larger land acquisitions. The Court directed the Trust to pay the enhanced compensation with statutory benefits to landowners within three months.
