The Sikkim High Court has clarified that the recent Rs 565 crore award for army land is merely a preliminary valuation and not the final settlement.
The Sikkim High Court issued a ruling stating that the Rs 565 crore award granted for army land is only a preliminary valuation.
The decision follows a dispute over the value of land allotted to the Indian Army in the state. The court emphasized that the award is not a final settlement and further assessment is required before any compensation can be finalized.
Under the order, the army will need to re‑evaluate the land’s worth, and the award amount may be adjusted once a comprehensive appraisal is completed.
The ruling clarifies that the current figure is provisional and does not bind the parties to a final payment until the valuation process is fully concluded.
