The High Administrative Court ordered the Ministry of Works, Municipalities Affairs and Urban Planning to pay two people BD100,000 each, as an interim compensation, for acquiring their lands without prior permission.
The accusations are that the ministry acquired 1,000 square meters of land from the plot of the first plaintiff to expand a public road and 450 square meters from the property of the second plaintiff to construct parking lots for commercial units.
An expert assigned by the court estimated the value of the lands used by the Ministry at BD600,000 and BD275,000, respectively.
The High Administrative Court asked the ministry to pay BD100,000 apiece as interim compensation for the owners, despite the high value of the lands because their lawyers highlighted the said amounts in their lawsuits.
