Supreme Court: Skipping land acquisition hearings bars owners from claiming denial later
0
·1 viewsThe Supreme Court has upheld the land acquisition process for a Jaipur Metro rail depot in Rajasthan. Landowners who failed to appear at scheduled hearings and did not pursue their objections were denied relief by the court. The bench ruled that their absence and inaction precluded them from later claiming they were denied a fair hearing under the Land Acquisition Act of 1894. The court also noted that authorities had largely adhered to the required legal procedures during the acquisition process. However, the landowners retain the right to seek higher compensation for the acquired land.
