Abstract

While land acquisition is necessary and inevitable for economic and social development, the power of government to acquire land under the “Doctrine of Eminent Domain” is draconian as well as in violation of human rights of the land owners under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. This paper discusses the provisions of the much talked-about peoplefriendly Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 (RFCTLARR Act, 2013) which is said to imbibe the maxims Salus populi est supreme lex and Necessitas public major est quam privata. The paper also discusses the issues related to implementation of this Act in letter and spirit and how unjust efforts are made to water down the provisions of the RFCTLARR Act, 2013.
