#demarcation report

Himachal Pradesh High Court set aside dismissal of an Order 41 Rule 27 CPC application, directing the First Appellate Court to adjudicate it concurrently with the main appeal. The ruling reinforces procedural safeguards for admitting additional evidence in civil appeals, ensuring fair adjudication of boundary disputes and demarcation reports.

The Chhattisgarh High Court has ruled that even minor unauthorized use of private land-such as 0.12 dismil for canal construction-constitutes a violation of the right to property under Article 300A, mandating compensation regardless of scale. This sets a critical precedent for landowners facing incremental encroachments by public authorities without formal acquisition proceedings.
