The Supreme Court recently said that the State cannot deprive the citizen of using the land for years and then paying compensation to show graciousness. The apex court observed while hearing a contempt petition filed against the Ghaziabad Development Authority (GDA) in respect of the Supreme Court's Order passed in May 2023. "Though, the Right to Property is no more a Fundamental Right, still it is recognized as a Constitutional Right under Article 300A of the Constitution of India. Depriving a citizen of his Constitutional Right to use the land for 20 years and then showing graciousness by paying the compensation and beating drums that the State has been gracious, in our view, is unacceptable," the court said. It further stated that the state is not doing charity by paying compensation to the citizens for the acquisition of land. SC on ED Summons: Enforcement Directorate Can Summon Any Person; Those Summoned Are Expected To Respect and Respond, Says Supreme Court.
