Supreme Court Dismisses Infosys Plea Against Higher Land Compensation in Mysuru

The Supreme Court dismissed Infosys Limited's plea challenging enhanced compensation awarded to a landowner’s family for land acquired in Mysuru for the company’s campus expansion.

The Bench of Justices Dipankar Datta and Manmohan rejected Infosys’ delay of over 160 days in filing the appeal, dismissing the excuse of translating Kannada documents.

The dispute, dating back to 2005, involved a compensation hike from ₹4.85 lakh per acre to ₹220 per sq ft by the Mysuru reference court, upheld by the Karnataka High Court, citing industrial potential.

Infosys’ challenge was rejected at both the High Court and Supreme Court levels.
