Article 300A | Excess Land Taken Without Compensation Must Be Paid: Bombay HC
The Bombay High Court has ruled that taking possession of land beyond the area specified in the acquisition award violates Article 300A of the Constitution, entitling landowners to a supplementary compensation award. This sets a binding precedent for all government projects in Maharashtra, requiring strict adherence to awarded land boundaries and immediate redress for unauthorized takings.
