In Brief
The appellants challenged the insufficiency of compensation awarded for their lands acquired by the Union of India. The Supreme Court noted that similar cases had already been granted a 15% cumulative annual increase as enhancement. Finding no dispute regarding this established relief, the Court allowed the appeal and substituted the judgment to award all appellants a 15% increase per sq. yard on cumulative basis for a gap period of two years and six months, ensuring consistency with prior determinations in analogous land acquisition compensation disputes.
