The Supreme Court today sharply rebuked the State of Maharashtra for not coming up with a reasonable amount for compensation in a case wherein the State illegally occupied a person's property nearly six decades ago and allotted a notified forest land instead.

Reading for the affidavit, he said “the revenue and forest department has considered the case of the Applicant sympathetically ” However, the court said that it would direct that the entire structure on land, allotted illegally, be demolished and the land be restored. Previously, the Court had pulled up the Maharashtra government for not filing an affidavit regarding, inter-alia, the details of the compensation given in a case wherein the State illegally occupied a person's property and allotted a notified forest land instead.
