The Managing Director v. Paravva @ Parvati W/O. Hanumant Sortur
Case brief
What is this about?
Compensation references under the Karnataka Highways Act had been rejected for want of jurisdiction. The Court held that the 2013 acquisition legislation did not displace that Act, set aside the impugned orders and directed expeditious revival of the references. Compensation-calculation contentions remained open.
What did the court decide?
Impugned orders set aside; reference Court directed to revive the references and deal with them expeditiously, giving landowners an effective opportunity to prosecute them.
