Land Compensation: Fresh Application Allowed After Delay
A Karnataka landowner asked for higher compensation because a neighbouring plot got more. His old application from 2014 was never considered, and the authority said it lost the file. The High Court allowed him to file a fresh application under Section 28A of the Land Acquisition Act. The authority must now decide it according to law.
Key Statutory Highlights
- The landowner's 2014 application under Section 28A was never considered by KIADB.
- A court in 2026 enhanced compensation for adjacent land, prompting this request.
- The High Court gave liberty to file a fresh application instead of deciding on the old one.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:If your acquired land got less compensation than a neighbouring plot, talk to a land acquisition lawyer to check whether you can seek re-determination under Section 28A.
