From the headnote

Issue for Consideration Issue arose whether the High Court was justified to rely on auction sale of the Golden Mile project for assessing just and fair market value of the acquired land; whether landowners are entitled to further enhancement; what other evidence on record ought to be relied on to assess the market value of the acquired land; what would be the just and fair market value of the acquired land; and whether the High Court correctly granted statutory benefits like solatium and interest on the enhanced amount in accordance with provisions of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894.
