In Brief
This case involved multiple civil appeals (Nos. 246–255 of 2020) concerning compensation awarded for land acquisition by the Nimna Dudhna Project in Maharashtra. The central issue was whether the High Court should have awarded interest on the enhanced compensation amount during the period of delay in preferring appeals. The Supreme Court held that such interest was not justified and modified the High Court's judgment accordingly, while confirming the rest of its award. The appeals were partly allowed.
