Answer:
The Supreme Court has rejected a plea by farmers for ‘fair compensation’ for land acquired from them. It said the villagers came to court 21 years too late.
A Bench of Justices Arun Mishra and M.R. Shah applied the Doctrine of Acquiescence on the farmers. Thus, once the agriculturists acquiesce to certain terms, even if the terms are found wrong, they lose their right to come back and complain.
