The Punjab and Haryana High Court has issued a formula to calculate the amount payable for restoring a plot that was resumed. The guidelines aim to provide clarity to property owners and stakeholders.
The Punjab and Haryana High Court today laid down a specific formula to determine the compensation payable for the restoration of a plot that had been resumed by the state. The decision provides a clear method for calculating the amount that must be paid to owners whose land was taken for public purposes.
Under the new guidelines, the court has outlined the key variables that will be considered, including the original purchase price, the current market value, and any additional costs incurred by the owner during the restoration process. The formula is designed to ensure that compensation is fair and reflective of the true value of the land.
Property owners affected by the resumed plot are expected to benefit from the clarity offered by the court’s decision. By standardising the calculation, the High Court aims to reduce disputes and expedite the restoration process.
The ruling is expected to set a precedent for similar cases across the state, providing a consistent framework for future compensation claims related to land resumption.
