Article 300-A | State Cannot Retain Acquired Land Indefinitely Without Public Purpose: Rajasthan HC

The Rajasthan High Court has ruled that prolonged non-use of land acquired for a public purpose-here, a BARC facility abandoned since 2004-violates the constitutional right to property under Article 300-A. Authorities must release such land or face judicial intervention, setting a binding precedent against bureaucratic inertia in land acquisition processes affecting thousands of landowners nationwide.
