Article 300A | Landowners Entitled to Compensation for Submerged Land Even Without Formal Acquisition Proceedings : CGHC

Chhattisgarh High Court rules that landowners retain constitutional rights under Article 300A to compensation for submerged land due to dam construction, even in the absence of formal acquisition proceedings. The judgment mandates authorities to demarcate affected land and initiate compensation, reinforcing state liability for environmental displacement.
