Orders
The High Court of Bombay (Aurangabad Bench) allowed the writ petition and quashed refund notices issued by the National Highway Authority. The court held that once a final land acquisition award is passed under Section 3G(1) of the National Highway Authorities Act, 1956, the authority lacks statutory power to remeasure the land and demand refund of compensation, even if subsequent measurement reveals discrepancies in the acquired area. The notices dated 20/6/2016, 6/8/2016, and 21/10/2016 were quashed as ultra vires. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
