ANSAR ALLI . vs STATE OF ORISSA . — C.A. No. 2613/2006

Summary of Civil Appeal No. 2613 of 2006 On April 27, 2011, the Supreme Court disposed of Ansar Alli's appeal against the State of Orissa concerning compensation under Section 17 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. The Court found that while the State invoked Section 17 for land acquisition, it failed to make the required payment under Section 17(3)(a), though it had deposited an amount with the Revenue Department. The Court directed the State to pay the deposited amount to the appellants by way of an Award, while permitting them to challenge it without prejudice through reference proceedings under Section 18 of the Act.
