Bombay High Court rules that unilateral possession of land under a negotiated acquisition agreement triggers an immediate obligation to pay compensation, even if the formal acquisition process is incomplete. The judgment reinforces Article 300A protections, mandating Rs. 30.91 crore disbursement to the petitioner for land taken in 2019, setting a precedent for government and public body interactions in land acquisition disputes.

Madras High Court holds that non-compliance with a conditional deposit order in a Section 138 NI Act appeal does not justify automatic issuance of a non-bailable warrant.
