Section 24 Right to Fair Compensation Act | Land Acquisition Proceedings Lapse If Possession Not Taken Nor Compensation Paid Before 01.01.2014 : Bombay HC

Bombay High Court rules that land acquisition proceedings under the Right to Fair Compensation Act 2013 lapse if neither possession is taken nor compensation paid by the cut-off date of 01.01.2014, entitling landowners to compensation under the new Act. This judgment reinforces landowners' rights and sets a critical precedent for pending compensation claims under Section 24.
