Case Summary: RFA-1830-2023 The Punjab & Haryana High Court allowed appellants Sunil Devi and another's appeal seeking enhanced land acquisition compensation for 16.37 acres in Gurugram. The court condoned a 2298-day delay in filing, emphasizing that in compulsory land acquisition cases, courts must adopt a liberal justice-oriented approach and maintain parity among similarly situated landowners covered by the same acquisition notification. The court awarded compensation at ₹4,78,79,070 per acre with statutory benefits (consistent with an earlier 2019 judgment in *Vivek Kumar v. State of Haryana*), but denied interest for the delayed period to balance the State's interests. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
