With the population upsurge, following the explosion a couple of years back, the state has come up with several curbs to stop arbitrary possession of landed property and related assets. Indiahousing offers information on Land Acquisition. The government is authorized by the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, duly passed by the Union Legislature, to amend the laws relating to land acquisition for public purpose and determine the compensation required. The enactment expressly mentions that land includes benefits that arise of land and things attached to the earth or permanently attached to anything fastened to the earth.
Further the Act also stipulates the public officers who are authorized for acquiring land on behalf of the State. They include the Collector, Deputy Commissioner and any officer who is specially appointed by the government. The collector prepares the declaration and copies are forwarded to the administrative departments and all the parties concerned. This declaration is then required to be published as issued in the notification. Moreover if the compensation given is under protest, the awardees are entitled to refer the matter to the court for determination of requisite amount of compensation. The clauses of the Land Acquisition Act notify the citizens as to the nature of functions that the state appends to the law. Know all about it at Indiahousing.
