In Brief
The appellant sought the benefit of a favorable Supreme Court judgment in a connected land acquisition case where similarly situated claimants received different compensation amounts under the same notification. Although the appellant's earlier special leave petition was dismissed in limine and strict procedure required fresh challenge, the Court held that procedural technicalities should yield to justice. The Court allowed the appeal and entitled the appellant to the benefit of the later judgment, finding that equal compensation should apply to lands of similar nature acquired for the same purpose.
