Case Note & Summary
The case involved a batch of appeals concerning the assessment of compensation for super-structure and standing trees related to land acquisition proceedings. The Union of India was the appellant, and the appeals were based on a previous decision regarding compensation in a connected matter, Union of India and others v. Hari Singh. In that case, a time-barred appeal was filed, and a condonation of delay application was rejected by a single judge, who upheld the compensation assessment made by the reference court. The counsel for the Union of India informed the court that the current appeals were similarly liable to be dismissed based on the previous ruling. The court agreed with this assessment and dismissed the appeals without further deliberation.
