NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court Friday held that disputes over land acquisition and payment of fair compensation to owners cannot be re-opened under the 2013 Act if the legal processes have been completed before January 1, 2014.
A five-judge Constitution bench interpreted section 24 of the ‘Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013’ as there were two conflicting verdicts by different benches of the apex court on the issue.
Section 24 of the Act deals with situations under which a land acquisition proceedings shall deemed to have been lapsed. (AGENCIES)
