In Brief
The Supreme Court disposed of appeals concerning enhanced compensation in a land acquisition matter (involving MIDC Latur) by directing a split-release mechanism: 50% of the enhanced compensation was to be released to the appellants immediately without security, while the remaining 50% was to be released upon furnishing security satisfactory to the Reference Court. The High Court's previous order was set aside and the appeals were allowed, establishing a practical framework for releasing court-awarded compensation in such matters.
