The Supreme Court has urged the Centre to reconsider land acquisition laws and bring parity in determining market value of acquired land. The Court said landowners under the National Highways Act are unfairly treated compared to those covered under the 2013 land acquisition law.
On Friday(20th Sept), The Supreme Court criticized the Himachal Pradesh government for not compensating six landowners in Solan district before acquiring their land for a safety zone around a cement plant. The court ordered the state to pay Rs 3.05 crore to the affected landowners within 15 days, deeming the situation “regrettable.”
