GIRIMALLAPPA versus THE SPECIAL LAND ACQUISITION OFFICER M & MIP & ANR
Petitioner did not belong to the class protected by Section 28-A, and made no specific demand for enhancement before the High Court. Mere reference to higher award for similar land without demonstrating similarity is insufficient. High Court did not prefer technicalities over justice; petitioner’s claim stood satisfied. SLP lacked merit and was dismissed.
