Vanacharla Venkata Krishna Rao v. Union of India
Case brief
What is this about?
The bench allowed a writ appeal filed by the NHAI to modify an impugned order, restricting compensation payment to land notified under Section 3D of the National Highways Act rather than the earlier Section 3A notification. The opposite writ appeal challenging this as a fresh acquisition process was dismissed.
What did the court decide?
The order directing compensation based on Section 3A was modified to direct payment based on Section 3D notification. The opposite writ appeal was dismissed with costs to the impugned party.
