Conditional Stay Void for Non-Deposit of Award | Executing Court Must Enforce Land Acquisition Compensation Without Delay : Bombay HC

The Bombay High Court has ruled that a conditional stay on a land acquisition award is automatically nullified if the required deposit of the awarded amount plus interest is not made within the stipulated time. This removes legal immunity for delaying compensation and obligates executing courts to proceed with enforcement immediately, safeguarding claimants' constitutional right to timely payment under Article 21.
