Anurag Krishna Sinha v. State of Bihar
Supreme Court of IndiaEL-SC-2026-03-020Bench: Vikram Nath; Sandeep Mehta. The Court
Observing that the deprivation of property must be based on law which is “just, fair and reasonable”, the Supreme Court (March 10) 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 is “confiscatory” and fails constitutional scrutiny.
