#equal compensation

The Punjab & Haryana High Court has ruled that co-sharers in acquired land are entitled to the same compensation as other co-owners, even if they never filed objections under Sections 18 or 28-A of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. This removes a procedural barrier for beneficiaries of land acquisition awards, ensuring equitable treatment regardless of litigation participation.

Punjab & Haryana HC rules that co-sharers in acquired land are entitled to equal compensation as awarded to other co-owners, even without filing a Section 18 objection. The judgment enforces execution applications based on co-sharer awards, aligning with the Supreme Court's precedent in Ramphal v. Haryana SIDC, ensuring parity in compensation distribution.

Punjab & Haryana HC reinforces that co-sharers in acquired land are entitled to equal compensation as their co-owners, even without filing a Section 18 reference, relying on the Supreme Court’s binding precedent in Ramphal v. Haryana SIDC. The court mandates payment within three months, with 9% interest for delays, ensuring parity in compensation distribution for all co-sharers.
