Karnataka HC sets aside land grant to ex-serviceman, cites amended rules

The Karnataka High Court has set aside a 2022 order that granted five acres of agricultural land to ex-serviceman Vemanna G. The court cited amended rules that stipulate a residential site should be provided instead of agricultural land to veterans.

The bench expressed concern over the decision, noting it proceeded with a 'heavy heart' while applying the revised regulations. The amended rules appear to have changed the entitlements available to ex-servicemen seeking land assistance from the state.
