The Court held similarly placed landholders under contemporaneous Section 4 notifications are entitled to parity, fixed rates per group, and refused enhancement for trees for want of evidence.
What did the court decide?
Compensation fixed at Rs.45/50/55 per sq.ft. by group plus 12% p.a., solatium and interest from date of award @9% first year, 15% thereafter; no enhancement for trees.
