Dear querist,

1.      Land acquisition is a process by which the central government or the state can acquire the lands of the private individuals for the purpose of fulfilling some public necessity or projects undertaken by the government, it is done under, The Land Acquisition Act,1984 and in return of acquiring your land, they are bound to pay sufficient compensation to the landowner (which is usually ascertained by the market value at the point of time).

2.      In a recent amendment of the LARR Act, 2013 the Right to fair compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement was brought into place for granting fair compensation to those people whose lands were taken away by the government. Under this particular act, a social impact assessment survey will be conducted before the actual acquisition takes place.

3.      Furthermore, considering that verbal agreements are not considerable, the acquisition authorities need to provide you with proper documents showcasing how much and to what extent the land is going to be acquired by them, also it is an obligation on their part to provide you with reasonable compensation and also bear the expense of your resettlement.

4.      If you have been told to vacate the property under coercion or force then you can institute a proceeding under section 5 of the specific relief act, which basically allows the property owner to possession of the title of the same, a similar claim can be filed before the court of apt jurisdiction with the help of power of attorney.

Hope it helps.
