Land Acquisition Act | Revenue Record Entry Without Proof of Possession Cannot Deny Full Compensation to True Owner : Punjab & Haryana HC
The Punjab & Haryana High Court ruled that a mere 'gair marusi' entry in revenue records, without evidence of actual possession or tenancy, cannot justify apportioning land acquisition compensation. The true owner is entitled to the full compensation amount, reinforcing that revenue records alone are insufficient to establish legal rights in land disputes.
