Meira Kumar entitled to compensation for land acquired by government, says Patna High Court
India’s Patna High Court ruled that former Lok Sabha speaker Meira Kumar must receive compensation for land taken by the government. Justice Khatim Reza, in an October 6 order, set aside the District Collector’s directive that had tried to appropriate the property by nullifying the family’s six‑decade‑old land records. The judgment restores the family’s entitlement under Indian law.
