Land Acquisition Act 2013 Section 23(1) | Nullah Irrigation Qualifies as 'Irrigated Land' for Compensation: MP HC Jabalpur
The Madhya Pradesh High Court has ruled that land irrigated by a natural nullah, even without tube-wells, canals, or wells, qualifies as irrigated land under the Land Acquisition Act, 2013. This sets a precedent for fairer compensation in rural acquisition cases where traditional irrigation infrastructure is absent, directly benefiting thousands of small landholders in semi-arid regions.
