In Brief
In this land acquisition compensation matter, the appellants challenged the High Court's order regarding the release of enhanced compensation. The Supreme Court, referencing its earlier order in Civil Appeal Nos. 7070-7071 of 2015, allowed the appeals and directed a bifurcated release mechanism: 50% of enhanced compensation would be released without security, while the remaining 50% would be released upon furnishing security satisfactory to the Reference Court. The High Court's order was set aside.
