The Supreme Court of India ruled that no person can be deprived of their property without adequate compensation as per the law, reaffirming the constitutional right under Article 300-A. The case involved appellants whose residential plots were acquired for the Bengaluru-Mysuru Infrastructure Corridor Project but were denied compensation for 22 years due to delays by the state and KIADB. The Court criticized this injustice, stating that compensation based on outdated market rates would mock constitutional provisions. Exercising its powers under Article 142, the Court directed a revised market value calculation and quashed the lower court’s judgment.
