Kale (Dead) Rep. Thr. LRs vs Union of India

Bench: 2 — Abhay Manohar Sapre

In Brief

Kale's heirs appealed claiming the State had acquired 45 Bigha 3 Biswas of their Delhi land but paid compensation for only 36 Bigha 12 Biswas. The Reference Court and High Court found only 36 Bigha 3 Biswas was actually acquired based on government records. The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal, holding that appellants produced no documentary evidence to support their claim of the higher acreage, and that government records consistently showed the lower figure. Compensation paid matched the verified acquisition."
