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

Punjab & Haryana HC rules that co-sharers in acquired land are entitled to equal compensation as awarded to their co-owners, even if they did not file a Section 18 reference. The court relied on the Supreme Court's decision in Ramphal v. Haryana SIDC, affirming that execution petitions for equal awards are maintainable. This ensures parity in compensation distribution among co-sharers regardless of procedural participation.
