Authority: Supreme Court of India
Order Date: 09-10-2026
Case Overview
- Petitioners: Bhartiya Rashtriya Rajmarg Pradhikaran (BRRP) filed Special Leave Petition (C) No.10156/2026 against respondent BHAIYARAM, arising from the final judgment dated 26‑05‑2025 of the Allahabad High Court (AUS37AACA No. 446/2022).
- The dispute concerns compensation for land acquired under the National Highways Act, 1956.
- The Court observed a discrepancy between the Notification dated 3 June 2005 issued under Section 3A(3) (which omitted the land’s nature/category) and the Notification dated 27 April 2006 issued under Section 3D (which described the land as Residential/Commercial).
- Counsel for the petitioner argued that the categorisation under Section 3A(3) is material for computing market value, but could not explain why the later Section 3D notification, issued within a year, reflected any substantive change.
Final Outcome
- The Court held that all authorities had concluded against the petitioner and fixed the total compensation for the land at Rs 1,60,000 (one lakh sixty thousand rupees), exclusive of any super‑structure payment.
- The Court declined to exercise its jurisdiction under Article 136 of the Constitution and dismissed the Special Leave Petition.
- The pending application was ordered to stand disposed of.
