In Brief
This case addresses whether a landowner is entitled to statutory interest on enhanced compensation under the Land Acquisition Act when the Court itself made an error requiring enhancement. The High Court had granted interest but denied it after a certain date, attributing the denial to the Court's own mistake. The Supreme Court held that an appellant cannot suffer deprivation of statutory entitlements merely because a Court committed an error. The appeal was allowed, and the appellant was held entitled to interest as per the Land Acquisition Act until full realisation of the enhanced amount."
