Land Acquisition Act, 1894 | Prior Final Award Under Same Notification is Binding Benchmark for Market Value: Punjab & Haryana HC
The Punjab & Haryana High Court ruled that a final award in a prior land acquisition case under the same notification and purpose serves as a valid benchmark for determining market value, especially when superior sale instances are either non-comparable or undocumented.
