EXEC.ENGINEER,KARNATAKA HOUSING BOARD vs SHIVARUDRAPPA FAKIRAPPA UPPIN(D)BY LRS. — C.A. No. 6770/2010

Summary The Supreme Court dismissed the Karnataka Housing Board's appeals challenging the High Court's land acquisition compensation order. The Court upheld the High Court's decision to allow only 33.3% deduction (not 50%) for development charges on the acquired land value, finding no evidence of applicable building regulations requiring the higher deduction. The Court also upheld the 8% annual price escalation applied to land values between 1985-1989, noting the acquired land's strategic location abutting a national highway within municipal limits justified appreciation. All pending applications were disposed of accordingly on August 13, 2010. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
