Section 24(2) LARR Act | Acquisition Lapses If Neither Possession Nor Compensation Completed Within 5 Years : Rajasthan HC
Rajasthan High Court rules that land acquisition proceedings automatically lapse under Section 24(2) of the Right to Fair Compensation Act if neither possession is taken nor compensation paid within five years of enforcement. The judgment bars voiding sale deeds without proper pleading and mandates refund of settlement deposits with interest, reinforcing landowners' rights against stalled acquisitions.
