Chandrashekar v. the Special Land Acquistioni Officer
Case brief
What is this about?
Claimants sought enhancement of compensation for irrigated lands acquired for the Ballari Nala Dam Project. Holding that the exact relevant-year sugarcane price of Rs.1,250 per ton should be used instead of a three-year average, the Court fixed market value at Rs.2,82,000 per acre and partly allowed all eight appeals with costs.
What did the court decide?
Market value fixed at Rs.2,82,000/- per acre; claimants entitled to compensation at that rate with all statutory benefits, with costs.
