Jammu and Kashmir High Court Orders Army to Pay Rent for Land in Sopore
The Jammu and Kashmir High Court upheld a trial court order directing the Army to pay rent for nearly 3 acres of land in Sopore's Jalalabad area, originally requisitioned by the BSF and later transferred to the CRPF and then the Army. While the Army acknowledged occupying only 6 kanals and 6 marlas, the court found it denied landowners access to the remaining 17 kanals and 8 marlas, ordering compensation based on rent rates paid for the requisitioned portion.
