Two Acts passed by the Tamil Nadu and Gujarat Legislative Assemblies, in 2015 and 2016 respectively, to amend the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation, and Resettlement Act, 2013, came in for sharp criticism at a two-day conference on ‘Land rights, Land Acquisition, and Inclusive Development in India’ which began in New Delhi today. The Tamil Nadu Amendment Act introduced a new section to the Central Act, 105-A, whereby land acquisition carried out under the Tamil Nadu Acquisition of Land for Harijan Welfare Schemes Act, 1978, the Tamil Nadu Acquisition of Land for Industrial Purposes Act, 1997 and the Tamil Nadu Highways Act, 2001 is exempt from provisions of the RFCTLARR Act. The Gujarat Amendment Act,2016, which has also received President’s assent, aims to dilute the stringent provisions in the Central Act and make the “lengthy” and “difficult” process of land acquisition “smooth and easy” since Gujarat is an “industrially progressive” state.
