straightforwardness to the procedure of procurement of land to set up industrial facilities or
structures, infrastructural extends and guarantees restoration of those influenced. The Act
sets up guidelines for land securing as a piece of India's monstrous industrialisation drive

almost 120-year-old law instituted during British principle.

PROBLEMS UNDER THE LAND ACQUISITION ACT OF 1894.

Under the 1894 Act, the government could obtain any land as it wishes to, for the sake of
"open reason". The expression "open intention" was equivocal and open to official
carefulness. In this way, poor people groups' territory was gained at disposable costs in
appearance of improvement ventures. Sometimes such ventures never began, and the
equivalent modest land was exchanged at more significant expense to land designers, without
building anything for "open reason".

1. Lack of Safety - There is no genuine system to stop the procedure of the obtaining. A
meeting (under area 5A) is endorsed however this isn't a conversation or exchange. The
perspectives communicated are not required to be accepted by the official directing the
consultation.

2. Lack of laws relating to the resettlement and rehabilitation - There are definitely no
arrangements in the 1894 law identifying with the resettlement and restoration of those
dislodged by the securing.

3. Urgency clause - This is the most condemned area of the Law. The provision never really
characterizes what comprises a critical need and leaves it to the carefulness of the securing
authority.

4. Low Rates for compensation - The rates paid for the land procured are the common hover
rates in the region which are infamous for being obsolete and consequently not even remotely
demonstrative of the real rates winning in the territory.

5. Litigation - Indeed, even where securing has been completed the equivalent has been
tested in prosecutions on the grounds referenced previously. This outcomes in the slowing
down of real framework ventures.
