Land Once Acquired By State Cannot Be Divested, Reconveyed To Original Owner: HP HC Orders NHAI To Pay Compensation For Land Acquisition

Live Law  

The Himachal Pradesh High Court, while disposing of a petition filed for compensation by a person whose land was acquired by the NHAI, held that once the land has been acquired by the NHAI under the relevant statutory provisions, the authorities could not divest themselves or reconvey the land on the basis that the acquired land was no longer required by them. The single bench of Justice Jyotsna Rewal Dua was hearing a petition, in which the petitioner submitted that their lands were acquired by the respondents under the provisions of the National Highways Act, 1956. The High Court, however, rejected the contentions of the respondents and held that land once acquired by the State could not be divested, since no legal provisions existed to the effect. Passing the order, the Court said that: "Petitioners' lands have been acquired under the National Highways Act, 1956 read with provisions of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition Act, 2013.
