Case brief
AI extract
What is this about?
The High Court dismissed a writ petition seeking the return of land acquired under the National Highways Act, 1956. The court held that since possession was taken and compensation paid, the prayer for return was misconceived, and a lease could not be insisted upon without challenging the acquisition orders.
What did the court decide?
The writ petition for return of land and grant of lease was dismissed.
