Right of Ingress and Egress | Municipal Structures Blocking Private Property Frontage Require Statutory Authority & Compensation : Calcutta HC
The Calcutta High Court has ruled that municipal corporations cannot erect permanent structures obstructing a private property’s access to the main road, even on former waste disposal land, without statutory backing or compensation. This affirms that property frontage rights are constitutionally protected and cannot be encroached upon under the guise of public utility.
