Bombay High Court Enhances Land Compensation and Upholds Acquisition Procedures
The Bombay High Court recently issued two rulings related to land and property rights in Maharashtra. It enhanced compensation for Bokadvira landowners in Uran, raising the rate to Rs 1,725 per square metre for land acquired in 1986, considering the area's development. Separately, the court quashed notices from the Bhiwandi Nizampur City Municipal Corporation that sought possession of private properties for a road-widening project without prior land acquisition and compensation, affirming that statutory procedures must be followed before eviction.
