The Court held that an employee appointed through a regular process of recruitment does not cease to be an "employee" merely because he has not been confirmed in service.Public Purpose Can't Override Statutory Timelines: Rajasthan High Court Quashes 2011 Land Acquisition Over Delayed AwardTitle: Dinesh Chourasiya v State of Rajasthan & Ors, and other connected petitionsCitation: 2026 LiveLaw (Raj) 316The Rajasthan High Court has quashed land acquisition proceedings initiated by the Rajasthan Housing Board in 2011 after holding that the award, passed in 2017, was barred by the mandatory timeline prescribed under the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013.The bench of Justice Anand Sharma held that once Section 24(1)(a) of the 2013 Act became applicable, the limitation under Section 25 governed the proceedings, and not Section 11A of the repealed Land Acquisition Act, 1894. “Public purpose, however laudable, cannot authorise continuation of proceedings in derogation of a legislative command… land acquisition laws are expropriatory in nature and when such statute creates a power and simultaneously prescribes the manner and period within which such power is to be exercised, the authority must act strictly within four corners of the statute,” it observed.Rajasthan High Court Directs Collections From 'Illegal' Toll Plaza Be Used For Tree PlantationTitle: Bhanwar Lal Bula & Anr. v State of Rajasthan & Ors.Citation: 2026 LiveLaw (Raj) 317The Rajasthan High Court has directed the Project Director of the Rajasthan State Highways Authority to expeditiously decide, within three months, an application seeking implementation of the District Collector's order directing relocation of an allegedly illegal toll plaza.The Court also directed that details of the toll collections be retained and placed before the Project Director, who shall pass appropriate orders for utilising the collected amount for planting shade-bearing trees in nearby public areas.The Court further warned that if the Project Director fails to decide the application within the stipulated period, appropriate proceedings under the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971 may be initiated against him.Justice Anoop Kumar Dhand observed that tree plantation would serve the larger public interest.Rajasthan High Court Grants First Parole To Asaram After Over 13 Years In Jail, Says State's Objections 'Figments Of Imagination'Title: Asha Ram v State of Rajasthan & Ors.Citation: 2026 LiveLaw (Raj) 318Rajasthan High Court granted Asaram 20-day parole–following an order upholding his conviction for raping a minor, in light of his age as well as the fact that he had spent more than 13 years in incarceration.The division bench of Acting Chief Justice Sanjeev Prakash Sharma and Justice Sanjeet Purohit rejected the grounds on which the parole application was rejected by the concerned authorities, opining those to be “misleading and figments of imagination without any basis”.'Abuse Of Process': Rajasthan High Court Quashes FIR Alleging Husband Used Drugs, Black Magic To Solemnise MarriageTitle: R v State of Rajasthan & Anr.Citation: 2026 LiveLaw (Raj) 319The Rajasthan High Court recently quashed an FIR lodged by a woman against her husband alleging that he had used drugs, medicines and black magic to induce her into marrying him and had thereafter raped her, holding that the criminal proceedings amounted to an abuse of the process of law.The bench of Justice Anoop Kumar Dhand highlighted that the FIR was lodged 4 years after marriage, and 1 year after a daughter was born out of the wedlock, and...
