Summary of C.A. No. 015702/2017 (Jag Mahender v. State of Haryana) The Supreme Court modified the High Court's land acquisition compensation award for villages in Haryana's Jhajjar district. The court reduced compensation from Rs. 45,62,625/- per acre to Rs. 32,62,500/- per acre by applying a 25% development deduction to the market value (from Rs. 30,00,000/- per acre to Rs. 22,50,000/- per acre) and limiting appreciation to 15% on a flat basis over three years. The court found the High Court erred by not applying development deductions and using cumulative appreciation. Unpaid compensation amounts must be disbursed within three months with statutory benefits. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
