Section 77 LARR Act 2013 | Personal Presence Not Required for Compensation Disbursement If Documents Verified : Bombay HC

The Bombay High Court ruled that under Section 77 of the LARR Act, 2013, authorities cannot demand physical presence of landowners to disburse compensation if identity and supporting documents are duly verified. This clarifies administrative overreach and ensures timely payment to claimants who have fulfilled statutory requirements, particularly those unable to appear in person due to distance, disability, or other legitimate constraints.
