Land Acquisition Act | Co-Sharers Entitled to Equal Compensation Without Section 18 Reference Under Binding SC Precedent : Punjab & Haryana HC

Punjab & Haryana HC reinforces that co-sharers in acquired land are entitled to equal compensation as their co-owners, even without filing a Section 18 reference, relying on the Supreme Court’s binding precedent in Ramphal v. Haryana SIDC. The court mandates payment within three months, with 9% interest for delays, ensuring parity in compensation distribution for all co-sharers.
