Case History
Summary: The Supreme Court allowed Union of India's appeal against High Court orders that had directed authorities to decide respondents' Section 28A Land Acquisition Act application for enhanced compensation. The Court found the High Court erred by: (1) entertaining the Section 28A application when appeals against the underlying District Judge's compensation order were still pending before the High Court, making the application unmaintainable; and (2) not issuing notice to or hearing Union of India before passing the impugned writ petition order. The High Court's orders were set aside with no order as to costs. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
