Question

in land acquisition compensation cases, what is the fees that one has to pay in the supreme court of india in case a SLP is filed against the judgement of the high court? what happens to the fees already paid in the high court?

Answer 1

Cases relating to land acquisition compensation do not require any payment of court fees if u have preferred an appeal to the supreme court.

You will only incur the procedural expenses apart from the counsel's fees.

The appeal preferred to the High Court is a right given to the litigant under the Code of Civil Procedure and as well as the Land Acquisition Act. Payment of court fees is as prescribed under the Court Fees Act.

Proceedings filed before the supreme court are under Article 136 of the Constitution of India and under this provision it is the discretion of the supreme court to entertain all appeals. No litigant has a incumbent right to maintain an appeal to the supreme court. In all cases it is the supreme court which decides whether or not to entertain an appeal and an appeal is entertained only when there is a substantial question of law involved in the lis.
