Hyderabad: The Hyderabad Metro Rail project got a major relief in Supreme Court yesterday (Friday) in connection with acquisition of certain properties in Nampally and other areas.
While land acquisition awards were passed by the Revenue authorities under the old Land Acquisition Act in the third week of December 2013, the owners of these properties approached the High Court that the awards were predated and that they should be paid compensation as per the new Land Acquisition Act which came into force from January 2014.
Though the High Court observed that the awards were not predated and that they were correctly passed, it nevertheless asked the Government to pay compensation as per the new 2013 Land Acquisition Act.
Challenging the High Court order in the Supreme Court, HMRL and the Government of Telangana requested the Supreme Court to allow them to take possession of the affected properties as per compensation pattern under the old Act and assured the Supreme Court that they would pay compensation as per the final judgment of the Supreme Court regarding applicability of the old or the new Land Acquisition Act.
