Acquisition of land: Land Acquisition literally means the acquisition of land for some

public purpose by a government agency from individual landowners, as authorised by the

law, after paying a government-fixed compensation to cover losses incurred by landowners
from surrendering their land to the concerned government agency. Land Acquisition in India
refers to the process of land acquisition by the central or state government of India for various
infrastructure and economic growth initiatives. Several controversies have arisen with claims
that land owners have not been adequately compensated.
Land acquisition in India is governed by The Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency
in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013, which came into force from
1 January 2014.[1] Till 2013, land acquisition in India was governed by Land Acquisition Act
of 1894. On 31 December 2014, the new government in India passed an ordinance with an
official mandate to "meet the twin objectives of farmer welfare; along with expeditiously
meeting the strategic and developmental needs of the country". The government passed Land
Acquisition Amendment Bill in Lok Sabha on 10 March 2015.

Requisition: Property that is involuntarily seized by a governmental authority for any

reason. Requisitioned property can be taken for a number of reasons relating to
furtherance of the public good. It can be of any type, including real estate, vehicles,
machinery, office equipment or even personal property. Requisitioned property can be
treated as an involuntary conversion. Property sold under the threat of requisition can
also be treated as a conversion if the threat is believed to be genuine and imminent.
However, the threat of requisition must be confirmed by an actual governmental official
and cannot be derived solely from a public announcement. In most cases, the requisition
will be presented as a formal written demand.

Deprivation of property: Deprivation involving transfer of property Measures whose purpose

is direct dispossession of the owner constitute deprivation. This applies to expropriation63
and nationalisation,which involve the direct transfer of a property title to a public body or
another private individual. In the James and Others case, it was decided that a law which
obliged an owner to sell his property (the freehold) by giving the leaseholder right of
purchase was a measure involving deprivation of property. In another case, it also found that
a redistribution, or reparcelling, of property deprived the applicants of their possessions In
the Poiss case, on the other hand, the Commission and Court did not consider that the
applicants had been definitively deprived of their possessions, since the transfer carried out
was provisional. Temporary dispossession cannot be regarded as deprivation, but constitutes
control of the use of property, as established in the Handyside case.
