Easementary Rights Compensable Even After Land Transfer | Adverse Impact on Retained Property Triggers Entitlement : Bombay HC
The Bombay High Court has ruled that adjacent landowners retain the right to claim compensation for easementary rights even after transferring ownership, if their remaining land suffers demonstrable adverse impact from highway acquisition. This clarifies that compensation is tied to functional impairment of retained property, not mere ownership status, significantly expanding protections for commercial landowners in infrastructure projects.
