Land Acquisition Act | Market Value Must Be Based on Pre-Notification Sales; No Rental Compensation for Pre-Possession: Bombay HC (Aurangabad Bench)
The Bombay High Court (Aurangabad Bench) ruled that compensation for acquired land must be calculated based on market value from transactions preceding the acquisition notification. The court also denied rental compensation for periods of pre-notification possession and clarified that interest on compensation accrues from the award date. This decision reinforces evidentiary standards for comparable sales and limits additional claims under the Land Acquisition Act.
