AI extract
What is this about?
The court dismissed a writ petition filed by a petitioner seeking a mandate for deposit of enhanced land acquisition compensation. The authorities argued the erstwhile owner, who received payment, had established title, and the petitioner must prove ownership in civil court.
What did the court decide?
Relief sought for enhancement of land acquisition compensation due to delay was denied as compensation was already paid to the erstwhile owner who established title.
