Nandi Infrastructure Corridor Enterprise Limited v. a M Sharath Chandra
Case brief
What is this about?
Landowners whose lands were notified for acquisition for the Bengaluru-Mysuru corridor between 1998 and 2009 challenged decades-long failure to pass compensation awards. The Division Bench affirmed the Single Judge's quashing of the acquisition notifications insofar as petitioners' lands were concerned, holding that statutory vesting does not excuse indefinite delay in determining compensation.
What did the court decide?
Appeals of NICE and KIADB dismissed; judgment quashing acquisition proceedings relating to petitioners' lands affirmed.
