Goverment cannot acquire lands of private parties without paying adequate market rate compensation.

This is done in accordance with the provisions of Land Acquisition Act. Government enjoys a power to acquire land belonging to private individual for public purpose. This has nothing to do with the willingness or unwillingness of the landowner.

There is a process of acquisition mentioned in the Act done by the District Magistrate and Collector, or certain other officer duly authorised in this behalf. The landowner will be notified and the landowner may contest the acquisition, pleading that the concerned acquisition is not for a public purpose.

Certainly the government cannot acquire a land belonging to a private individual for the purpose of opening a dance bar.

The crux of the acquisition is the necessity to fulfill a public purpose. If that is so, the willingness or other wise of the land owner becomes immaterial.

In lieu of acquisition, the landowner will be compensated in the form of an award. If the landowner is aggrieved with the extent of the award as grossly inadequate, he may apply under the act to move the Judge, land acquisition court for a revision of the awa

Telangana government is planning for road widening in my area and my house may get demolished, how can I stop the govt. from cutting my house? What are the related laws of this issue?

You can go to court and get an injunction against the move to cut your house - but sooner or later, the government will win - if they can convince the court that the road widening is in public interest…

The court will of course ask the government to compensate you well - and you can probably get that compensation even without going to court…

Depending on the area lost, the government will also permit you to build more floors on the existing house if the structural design permits it…or will allow you to demolish the existing house and build a brand new house in the reduced area…the cost of the pl

In the normal course the government issues notice to land owners / patta holders for acquisition. The landowner’s consent is not always required in case of any urgent necessity for acquisition for government projects.

At the same time, it is the right of the land owner to have fair compensation for his land. Therefore in order to protect such interest of land owners, Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 was passed, thereby replacing the old Land Acquisition Act, 1894. Under the 2013 Act, the consent of 80% of the land owners must be obtained for private projects, whereas the consent of 70% of land owners must be obtained for public-private partnership

1. Negotiate with the government. In many cases, it is possible to negotiate with the government to avoid having your house demolished. You may be able to negotiate for a different route for the road, or you may be able to negotiate for compensation for your house.
2. File a legal challenge. If you are unable to reach an agreement with the government, you may be able to file a legal challenge to the road widening project. You would need to argue that the project is illegal or that it violates your constitutional rights.
3. Protest the project. You may also be able to protest the road widening project to try to raise awareness of your situation and build public support for your cause.

Here are some specific steps you can take to stop the government from demolishing your house:

1. Gather information. Learn as much as you can about the road widening project, including the proposed route, the timeline for the project, and the government's plans for compensation.
2. Contact your elected representatives. Meet with your local and state elected representatives to express your concerns about the project. Ask them to advocate for you with the government.
3. Organize your community. Talk to your neighbors and other people who will be affected by the project. Form a group to advocate for your interests.
4. Explore your legal options. Consult with an attorney to discuss your legal rights and options. You may be able to file a lawsuit to stop the project or to obtain compensation for your house.

The following laws are relevant to the issue of road widening and demolition of houses:

• The Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 (RFCTLARR Act) is a law that protects the rights of people who are affected by land acquisition and resettlement projects. The RFCTLARR Act requires the government to provide fair compensation to people whose land is acquired for public projects. The RFCTLARR Act also requires the government to provide rehabilitation and resettlement assistance to people who are displaced by public projects.
• The Land Acquisition (Amendment) Act, 2020 is an amendment to the RFCTLARR Act that makes it easier for the government to acquire land for public projects. The Land Acquisition (Amendment) Act, 2020 has been criticized by some for weakening the protections of the RFCTLARR Act.

There is a process of acquisition mentioned in the Act done by the District Magistrate and Collector, or certain other officer duly authorised in this behalf. The landowner will be notified and the landowner may contest the acquisition, pleading that the concerned acquisition is not for a public purpose
