Chhotabhai Jasanghbhai Patel The Supreme Court dismissed the Corporation's special leave petition challenging the Gujarat High Court's compensation award for land acquisition in Manjusar village, Vadodara.

The Court upheld this valuation methodology and rejected arguments that small parcel sales couldn't determine value for large tracts, confirming Rs.700/- per tree for standing timber remained unchanged.
