BIHAR INDUSTRIAL AREA DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY vs AMIT KUMAR

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of whether the Bihar Industrial Area Development Authority (BIADA) could recover unearned increase based on market value or circle rate when land allotted for industrial purposes was transferred by the allottee. The court upheld the Patna High Court's decision, stating that BIADA is entitled to recover only the unearned increase based on the cost of land and development charges, not the market value. This judgment clarifies the interpretation of lease agreements regarding the transfer of land rights.
