In Brief
This judgment concerns a dispute over compensation for lands acquired from the appellants in Kerala. The High Court had remanded the matter to the Reference Court for fixation of compensation. The appellants challenged this remand order before the Supreme Court. With the consent of all parties, the Court disposed of the appeals by holding that the remand will be treated as an open remand, allowing both parties to adduce fresh evidence and raise all contentions without being influenced by the High Court's earlier observations and findings.
