Bombay High Court Orders Probe into Illegal Land Allotments in Temghar Dam Project

The Bombay High Court directed a probe into alleged illegal land allotments in the Temghar Dam project, highlighting serious irregularities in the rehabilitation process for project-affected persons.

The Court observed that alternate land had been allotted without proper verification of eligibility and supporting records.

A division bench of Justices A.S. Gadkari and Kamal Khata ordered the State authorities to conduct a detailed investigation and take action against officials responsible for the lapses.

Emphasising accountability, the Court noted that such irregular allotments undermine the integrity of rehabilitation schemes meant for displaced persons.
