SPECIAL TAHSILDAR (LA) UNIT IV vs M. VENU — SLP(C) No. 13061/2011

Summary The Supreme Court dismissed multiple Special Leave Petitions filed by the Special Tahsildar (TNHB) challenging the Madras High Court's judgment of March 12, 2010, which valued acquired land at Rs.6,000 per cent instead of the LAO's Rs.720 per cent. The Court found the petitioner's delay explanation (222-303 days) unsatisfactory and held the impugned judgment had no legal infirmity, upholding concurrent findings on land location, development potential, and market value. The petitioner was ordered to deposit Rs.25,000 cost in each petition with the Madras State Legal Services Authority within one month, and state authorities were directed to pay compensation to respondents within three months.
