Bajrang lal vs Bhumi avapti adhikari and sdm lakheri — 26/2025

Case Summary: Bajrang Lal v. Bhumi Avapti Adhikari (26/2025) Court Decision: The Civil Judge of Indraprastha, Bundi accepted the petitioner Bajrang Lal's declaratory petition and issued a decree ordering the Land Acquisition Officer and Sub-Divisional Officer, Laksheri to release compensation to the petitioner. The court found that agricultural land belonging to petitioner's deceased father Mathura Lal was acquired by the central government under the National Highways Act 1956 for NH-148 maintenance; compensation was determined but not disbursed following the father's death. Since petitioner is the sole legal heir (as evidenced by testimony and documents), he is entitled to receive the compensation amount of Rs. 20,22,992 and Rs. 1,47,574. Key Reasoning: Respondents failed to present any counter-evidence, and the petitioner's oral and documentary evidence remained uncontradicted, establishing his claim under the legal principle that "when defendant leads no evidence and plaintiff's case is not refuted, the decree will follow."
