Compensation For Surrendering Land For Public Purpose Once Determined Is Payable Without Formal Request, Failure Violates Article 300-A: Supreme Court

The Supreme Court ruled that compensation for land surrendered for public purposes is payable once determined, without requiring a formal request from the landowner. The case involved a dispute over compensation for land acquired for public use, where the compensation was withheld until a formal request was made. The court held that once the compensation amount is determined, it should be paid without further procedural delays, reinforcing the landowner’s right to prompt compensation. This decision upholds the principle of timely compensation for land acquisition and adherence to constitutional rights.
