Courts Uphold Property Rights in Land Disputes in Gurugram and Himachal Pradesh
The Supreme Court restored ownership of over 436 bighas of Gurugram land to a gram panchayat, overturning a 2007 High Court ruling that recognized private claims, affirming the land as common village property. Separately, the Himachal Pradesh High Court upheld compensation orders for landowners whose property was used for a road without formal acquisition 31 years ago, rejecting the state's claims of verbal consent and delay. Both rulings emphasize legal protections for property rights and due process in land disputes.
