Section 28-A Land Acquisition Act | Final Compensation Order Cannot Be Stalled by Administrative Delay: Orissa HC Directs Payment with 9% Interest from 1979
Orissa High Court reinforces that once a compensation enhancement order under Section 28-A of the Land Acquisition Act is finalized, administrative delays cannot override judicial directives. The court directed the state to sanction and disburse the 27-year-old enhanced compensation by July 2026, with 9% interest from 1979, upholding the constitutional right to property against procedural bottlenecks.
