Revenue Records Prevail Over Vesting Entries Under Land Acquisition Act | Shamlat Land Compensation Entitlement : HP HC

Himachal Pradesh High Court rules that continuous possession and payment of land revenue, as evidenced by revenue records, override vesting entries under the H.P. Village Common Land Act, 1974. This entitles proprietors to compensation under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, reinforcing the primacy of factual possession over statutory vesting in land acquisition disputes.
