Co-sharers Entitled to Equal Compensation Without Filing Section 18 or 28-A Objections | Land Acquisition Act, 1894: Punjab & Haryana HC

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.
