Question 1 of 5
1. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements:
1. According to the Constitution of India no person in India shall be deprived of his property save by authority of law.
2. Right to Property is a Fundamental Right in India.
3. Government can acquire land for “a public purpose” in exchange for compensation to the landowner.
How many of the above statements are correct?Correct
Answer: B
Explanation:
• Statement 2 is not correct and statement 1 is correct: The Constitution of India initially recognised the right to own property as a fundamental right under Article 19, which said all citizens have the right “To acquire, hold and dispose of property”. This was further protected under Article 31, which stated that property could not be taken possession of or acquired for public purposes unless “the law provides for compensation for the property taken possession of or acquired”.
o However, in 1978 these rights were removed from the fundamental rights chapter. Instead, Article 300A was introduced later, stating, “No person shall be deprived of his property save by authority of law”.
• Statement 3 is correct: Several laws detail land acquisition provisions in specific cases, including the construction of highways, atomic energy plants and the preservation of national monuments. For over a century, however, the overall subject of land acquisition was governed by the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. It allowed the government to acquire land for “a public purpose” in exchange for compensation to the landowner. However, it only addressed the concerns of the landowner and not other affected families in the area. To address this, Parliament enacted the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013, and the old law was repealed.
o The 2013 Act speaks of land acquisition for industrialisation and infrastructure development, and seeks to establish a “humane, participative, informed and transparent process for land acquisition”. Aside from compensation for landowners, the Act also requires authorities to conduct a Social Impact Assessment to determine who will be affected by the acquisition, with provisions on compensation, rehabilitation and resettlement.Incorrect
