Krishan Kumar vs. State of Haryana and others (CIVIL APPEAL)
The Supreme Court has ordered equal compensation for landowners from two adjacent villages in Haryana whose lands were acquired for a township. The High Court had awarded a lower amount to the landowners of Kukrola village compared to the neighboring Fazalwas village, despite the lands being similar. The Supreme Court corrected this disparity, stating that it was unfair to pay different rates for lands with similar potential. It increased the compensation for the affected landowners in Kukrola to match the higher rate of ₹1.21 crore per acre.
