Abstract
Land is one of the crucial resources for the survival of humans. Every person has equal and inherent right to live over this land but their acquisition and ownership over the land may vary. Since the former age, the piece of land which do not have any ownership automatically becomes the property of the government. Under the legislation for land, the government can also acquire the land from private individuals for the public purpose which has been the dynamic law and procedure since the British era in India. However, earlier the acquisition of land by the government was arbitrary, unjustifiable, and unreasonable. All the prior land-related legislation existed till the current laws were weak and abortive. Those Acts also do not deal with the concerns relating to resettlement, rehabilitation, and transparency rights of the affected parties whose land was acquired by the government on account of public purpose. Legal rights such as the Right to fair Compensation, Right to Transparency, Right to rehabilitation, and Right to Resettlement concerned with the land acquisition laws were incorporated in the new legislation called “The Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013”. This paper is a critical study of the legal rights concerned with the current legislation that are protected or not. And to scrutinize whether the main object of the legislation to utilize the land for public purpose and to promote public welfare is implemented or not. Another objective of the paper is to determine the lacunas of the current legislation and to provide possible recommendations for the better implementation of the laws.
