#uniform compensation

Himachal Pradesh High Court rules that land acquired for road construction must be compensated at full market value, without deductions for development charges, and at a uniform rate regardless of land classification. The judgment reinforces judicial parity in compensation, ensuring landowners receive fair value based on contemporaneous sale deeds.

The Delhi High Court ruled that when multiple landowners are affected by the same acquisition notification and share an identical evidentiary record, compensation must be uniform regardless of procedural delays or administrative errors. This enforces judicial parity under Section 28A, ensuring fairness for delayed claimants and setting a binding standard for future land acquisition cases in Delhi.
