SPL.TAHSILDAR(LA) UNIT IV TNHB vs JEGATHA — SLP(C) No. 13056/2011

The Supreme Court dismissed all SLPs filed by the Special Tahsildar (TNHB) challenging the Madras High Court's order fixing land acquisition compensation at Rs.6,000 per cent — both on grounds of inordinate delay (222–303 days) and on merits, finding no legal infirmity in the High Court's judgment. The Court imposed costs of Rs.25,000 per petition (payable to Madras State Legal Services Authority within one month) for filing frivolous petitions. The State Government and TNHB were directed to pay compensation to respondents within three months and report compliance to the Registrar General of the High Court.
