In Brief
Multiple consolidated civil appeals involving Pimpri Chinchwad Navnagar Vikas Pradhikaran (PCNTDA) and property respondents raised questions regarding the applicability of the Maharashtra Regional & Town Planning Act, 1966, versus the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, and the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013. The Supreme Court allowed the appeals and remitted the cases to the High Court, permitting parties to amend their pleadings and raise all relevant legal questions. The Court directed the High Court to decide the matters afresh after giving parties an opportunity to present their cases and file documents, while maintaining status quo on possession."
