How are land acquisition cases handled in India currently, under the 2013 or 2015 Act? Is there still a provision for returning land to owners if it remains unused for 5 years? Are there any lease options available, especially for mining land?
Land acquisition in India is governed by the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013. The provision for returning land to owners if it remains unused for 5 years was repealed by the 2013 Act. Lease options are available for mining land under the Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Act, 1957.
