Holding

The Court held that the enhanced compensation for the 49 acres of dry land must be awarded as originally determined.

Summary

Gaidal Lotan Patil appealed against the State of Maharashtra and other officials regarding land acquisition compensation. The High Court had previously awarded enhanced compensation for 49 acres of dry land, but the award was inadvertently omitted in the operative part of the judgment. The appellant moved a motion to correct this clerical error. The Court, after noting the omission, ordered that the enhanced compensation be included as originally intended. The correction was made by amending the judgment and uploading the revised version.

Issues considered

  • Whether the enhanced compensation for 49 acres of dry land, as determined in the original judgment, should be awarded despite its omission in the operative part of the judgment.

Subjects

  • land acquisition
  • compensation
  • judgment correction
  • dry land
