Land Acquisition Compensation | Collector Rates Cannot Be Sole Basis for Valuation but May Guide in Absence of Better Evidence: Punjab & Haryana HC
The Punjab & Haryana High Court ruled that while Collector rates alone cannot determine compensation in land acquisition cases, they may serve as a guiding factor when reliable comparable sales evidence is lacking. The Court upheld enhanced compensation of ₹75,00,000 per acre, emphasizing the need for fair market valuation in urban areas with commercial potential.
