VITTHAL S/O NAMDEO PATIL vs THE STATE OF MAHARASHTRA — C.A. No. 8750/2013

Case Summary: Vitthal S/O Namdeo Patil v. The State of Maharashtra Outcome: The Supreme Court partly allowed the appeal on February 1, 2022. While upholding the High Court's land compensation of Rs. 15,000 per acre (enhanced from Rs. 10,000), the Court granted the appellant the benefit of Section 34 of the Land Acquisition Act, which the High Court had overlooked. The Court rejected the appellant's other claims regarding higher compensation and separate benefits under Section 3(a) as insufficiently evidenced and not previously raised. Next Steps: The appeal was disposed of with the High Court judgment confirmed except for the Section 34 benefit. Each party bears its own costs.
