The Uttarakhand High Court has issued a directive to the Union and state governments, requiring them to address a petition contesting land acquisition for a highway project within four weeks.
The challenge, presented by Ramnagar resident Jagmohan Rawat and others, questions official notifications labeling land as agricultural, despite its residential and commercial development.
Petitioners highlight financial losses due to compensation based on incorrect land categorization, arguing the process undermines their livelihoods while lacking clarity on affected property ownership.
