The Supreme Court has ordered NHAI to take strong steps against illegal occupation of highway land. It also directed the formation of police surveillance teams to ensure regular patrolling and prevent future encroachments along national highways.
Today, On 4th February, The Supreme Court rejected NHAI’s plea to apply the Tarsem Singh verdict on compensation for landowners prospectively. A Bench comprising Justices Surya Kant and N Kotiswar Singh dismissed the request , stating that granting it would nullify the ruling. The Tarsem Singh judgment ensures fair compensation, and its retrospective application remains intact.
