In Brief
The appellants challenged a judgment that fixed the land valuation at Rs. 1,72,000/- per acre but failed to clarify their entitlement to statutory benefits on that valuation. The Supreme Court held that while the valuation itself had attained finality, the omission of statutory benefits from the earlier judgment was an error requiring correction. The Court allowed the appeal to the extent of declaring that the appellants are entitled to all statutory benefits on the fixed land valuation of Rs. 1,72,000/- per acre.
