SC, Acquisition of property with token amount of Rs. 1 compensation was arbitrary & unfair: Case of Anurag Krishna Sinha vs State of Bihar, SC Judgement Dated 10th March 2026. The apex court struck down the Bihar law that allowed the State to take over a historic library for a token compensation of just one rupee, holding that such a provision was ‘confiscatory’ and failed constitutional scrutiny.
