Case Summary: Meerut Development Authority v. Vilas Bhushan & Anr. (2003) The Supreme Court heard batch appeals challenging the High Court's enhancement of land compensation from Rs.30 to Rs.126 per square yard in a decade-old acquisition case. The Court found that different High Court benches had passed inconsistent interim orders on deposit requirements without coordination. The Supreme Court granted leave and uniformly modified all interim orders, directing the authority to deposit 50% of enhanced compensation within four weeks, allowing claimants to withdraw 25% without security and invest the remaining 25% in interest-bearing deposits for two years pending High Court disposal.
