Case Summary: DHARAM SINGH & ORS. v. THE LAND ACQUISITION COLLECTOR AND ORS (C.A. No. 001677-001691/2017) Outcome The Supreme Court allowed multiple consolidated civil appeals challenging the High Court's October 6, 2015 judgment. The Court held that post-acquisition allottees of land (including Maruti Suzuki India Limited) have no locus standi and are neither necessary nor proper parties in land acquisition compensation determination proceedings under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. Key Rulings - Post-acquisition allottees cannot participate in compensation determination proceedings merely because they must pay enhanced compensation - The High Court's decision to impleaded MSIL as a party was set aside - Permission to adduce additional evidence at the appellate stage was found to be without merit under Order XLI Rule 27 CPC - Compensation continues to be determined between land owners and the acquiring authority (Haryana State Industrial Development Corporation) Next Steps The matter was remanded to the High Court for fresh decision in accordance with law, with parties directed to appear on March 27, 2017. The compensation already paid to land owners would be subject to final orders of this Court. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
