In Brief
The appellant challenged a High Court judgment denying adequate land compensation in Haryana. The Supreme Court found the case factually similar to Ashrafi and Others v. State of Haryana & Others, which established that when acquired lands lie within developed municipal limits, a one-third discount should apply to valuation rather than 60%. Applying those settled principles, the Court allowed the appeal and directed reassessment of compensation in accordance with the Ashrafi precedent, including statutory benefits under the Land Acquisition Act.
