Summary: GUJARAT INDUST.DEV.CORP. v. CHHOTABHAI JASANGHBHAI PATEL Case: SLP(C) No. 2652/2009 (heard 08/11/2011) The Supreme Court dismissed all special leave petitions challenging the Gujarat High Court's compensation determination in a land acquisition matter. The Corporation had acquired 32 lakh square meters in Manjusar village for an industrial colony. While the Reference Court awarded Rs.108.78/sqm, the High Court reduced it to Rs.65/sqm (plus statutory benefits) based on two sale instances after applying 40% deduction for development costs. The Court upheld the High Court's judgment, rejecting the Corporation's argument that small land parcels shouldn't determine large-tract values, and confirmed the Reference Court's tree valuation at Rs.700 per tree. All petitions were dismissed. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
