    Case Summary: WPC/4568/2021 - Rajendra Prasad Gupta v. State of Chhattisgarh Decision: The court partially allowed the petition, directing the Land Acquisition Officer to demarcate petitioner's land and investigate whether excess land beyond the 0.095 hectares acquired in 2017 was used for road construction; if so, compensation proceedings must be initiated within six months per applicable law. Key Reasoning: While 0.095 hectares was properly acquired with compensation paid, evidence (a 2017 panchnama report) indicated an additional 0.015 hectares of the petitioner's land was used for the old road without acquisition or compensation. The state failed to refute this document, and the Supreme Court's *Vidya Devi* precedent established that property cannot be taken without legal procedure—thus, if excess land was indeed used, compensation is constitutionally mandated under Article 300A. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
