Prayag Upnivesh Awas Evam Nirman ... vs Allahabad Vikas Pradhikaran & Anr

The case involves a dispute over the entitlement to compensation for land acquired under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, for the establishment of a commercial district centre. The primary legal issue concerns whether the Government or the leaseholders, whose lease had expired in 1960 and was not renewed, are entitled to the compensation. The matter was referred to a Civil Court under Section 30 of the Act to determine the apportionment of the compensation award.
