Land acquisition for road development


10-Mar-2023 (In Civil Law)
Our village is a rural area. There is a SH 73 road which connects the bus routes nearby. Now as a development towards our village the road was taken over by PWD and started widening the road from 5m to 8m(approx). At earlier in PWD already given notice for some people to do not construct home up to 8 m area. In that work while widening several lands were acquired and part of many houses were destroyed. While approaching for compensation political parties refused about this and requested to be calm so that the work will get completed for the development and other bus facilities. So I want to know that is there any facility to get the compensation for whole land owners of my village who's land are aquired.

Compensation is payable even if an inch of land or other property is acquired by government for whatever purpose it may be. Compensation is calculated by officials and paid. If you think it is inadequate then you can approach and contest proceedings before Land acquisition officer. There are various factor & legal provisions which will impact such proceedings.

My Response to your query:

If government acquired land prior to this they will give notice yo land owner. After transfer if land in the name of Govt they will construct Road.

Might be the land owner has given permission prior to this that's why they have not published notice if acquisition. kindly check that

if land belongs to farmer and acquired by Govt than farmer entitled to get compensation.
