Orders in this case
Summary: C.A. No. 005480-005486/2013 - Baljeet Singh v. Union of India Outcome: The Supreme Court partially allowed the appeals on September 19, 2017. The court rejected the landowners' request for enhanced compensation based on 2008 circle rates and refused to apply the 2013 Land Acquisition Act's Section 24(2) provisions. However, it modified the High Court's determination by removing the "belting system" (differential rates) applied to Category "B" land in village Mundka (1997 acquisition), ordering uniform compensation at the Category "A" rate of Rs. 2,49,408/- per bigha with statutory benefits. Next Steps: Enhanced compensation must be paid within three months from the judgment date. The court declined to consider current valuations from contempt proceedings, finding them inapplicable to these long-pending land acquisition disputes spanning over 10-15 years.
