Land acquisition provision shown
The Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement (Amendment) Second Ordinance, 2015 is the part relevant to landowners, property buyers and professionals dealing with acquisition matters.
The supplied extract states that:
- The amendment concerns the Principal Act.
- A proviso is to be inserted in sub-section (2) of Section 2.
- The new proviso is inserted after the second proviso.
The supplied text does not include the wording of the inserted proviso. It therefore does not state, in the material provided, the specific projects, landowners, acquisition procedures, compensation rights or rehabilitation obligations affected by that insertion.
Relevance to property matters
Ordinance Number 5 of 2015 concerns the legal framework for land acquisition, fair compensation, transparency, rehabilitation and resettlement. It may therefore be relevant where land is being acquired rather than transferred through an ordinary private sale.
The gazette extract does not provide enough operative text to determine the precise effect on a particular parcel of land or acquisition proceeding. Ordinance Number 6 of 2015 concerns negotiable instruments, and the supplied extract gives no further provisions explaining its application.
