[Land Acquisition Act] Interest Added To Compensation Becomes Part Of Awarded Sum, Cannot Be Segregated For Further Calculation: Jharkhand HC

Jharkhand High Court ruled that interest added to compensation in land acquisition cases should be considered part of the awarded sum and cannot be segregated for calculation. The Court clarified that the calculation of compensation under the Land Acquisition Act must include both the principal amount and the interest accrued, as they are intrinsically linked in determining the rightful compensation amount. This ensures that the compensation is fair and that the beneficiaries are not deprived of the full amount they are entitled to.
