casestatus.in Summary

Case Summary: Girimallappa v. Special Land Acquisition Officer Outcome: The Supreme Court dismissed Girimallappa's Special Leave Petition on July 16, 2012, finding it wholly without merit. The Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of his Second Appeal challenging compensation awarded for land acquired under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. Key Finding: The Court rejected petitioner's claim that technical defects defeated substantial justice. It found that Girimallappa—a landowner with 11+ acres—was ineligible for Section 28-A relief (intended only for poor, inarticulate persons), and crucially, he never specified a concrete compensation demand before the High Court, merely paying minimal court fees (₹25). The District Judge had fixed compensation at ₹24,000/acre, which fully satisfied his only stated claim. Next Steps: No further proceedings; petition dismissed with finality.
