Land Acquisition Compensation | Joint Inspection Report Must Be Disclosed Before Award to Satisfy Natural Justice : Andhra Pradesh HC
The Andhra Pradesh High Court has ruled that withholding the joint inspection report from landowners before finalizing compensation violates the fundamental principle of natural justice. This sets a binding precedent for all acquisition authorities: procedural transparency is non-negotiable, and technical delays cannot excuse suppression of material evidence affecting compensation outcomes.
