High Court upholds land acquisition process for Parapana Agrahar Central Jail safety and expansion

The High Court's two-judge bench upheld the land acquisition process for the safety, expansion, and staff quarters construction of Parapana Agrahar Central Jail. The bench cancelled the single-judge bench's order, which had revoked the final notification after hearing the writ appeals filed by the state government. The court noted that the jail houses over five thousand inmates and that building multi-story structures around the jail would pose a threat to security.
