Applicability of Interest on Delay - When there is delay in payment of compensation, courts have held that interest is payable to landowners. The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) and other authorities are required to ensure timely payment, and failure to do so results in the obligation to pay interest under the relevant provisions of the Act and applicable case law Karanam Girijamma VS National Highways Authority Of India - Andhra Pradesh, SPECIAL LAND ACQUISITION OFFICER vs MAHAGUNDAPPA, S/O. ISHWARAPPA PATTANASHETTI - Karnataka.

Legal Provisions and Court Rulings - Sections 3G and 3J of the National Highways Act, along with the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013, emphasize timely compensation and interest in case of delays.

Analysis and Conclusion:
Courts consistently affirm that in land acquisitions under the National Highways Act, interest on compensation is payable in cases of delay. The law mandates timely payment, and failure to do so entitles landowners to interest, reinforcing the principle of fair compensation. The legal framework and judicial rulings underscore that interest is an integral part of compensation when there is a delay in payment by authorities such as NHAI.
