casestatus.in Summary

Case Summary: C.A. No. 414/2021 The Supreme Court partially allowed the Forest Conservator's appeal, modifying the Kerala High Court's compensation award from 100% to 50% of the Tehsildar-assessed land value. While the Court upheld that respondents owned the land (exempted from the 1971 Forest Vesting Act) and were entitled to compensation for deprivation of possession during 45 years of litigation, it reduced the award because the land was subsequently declared ecologically fragile under the 2003 Act (which bars compensation). The 50% compensation represents loss of land use benefits during dispossession, payable within three months at 7% interest if delayed.
