    The document summarizes key issues regarding land acquisition laws in India. It notes that the 1894 British land acquisition act was rigid and did not consider the welfare of the Indian people. Major issues with land acquisition have included inadequate compensation and rehabilitation for those displaced. The 2013 land acquisition bill tried to address some problems, but still failed to sufficiently restrict the definition of "public purpose" and prevent abuse regarding private acquisition of land.

    ABSTRACT
    It is common knowledge that the administrative structure of India is largely influenced by the
    rules and laws bequeathed by the British who governed the country according to their
    convenience, not for the welfare of the masses. Whatever changes they made from time to
    time, they served the interest of the Empire with its reign in England. In this regard, mention
    should be made of the British era Act of 1894 with regard to land acquisition by the
    Government. The British Act was iron-cast with one rule applying across the country. The
    Law relating to Land acquisition has always been seriously debated and has always been
    plagued by controversies. Contentious issues like inadequate compensation and
    rehabilitation and resettlement of the oustees have dominated the discourse on the subject.
    The Act of 1894 has failed to address some important issues associated with land acquisition
    particularly forcible acquisitions, definition of public purpose, widespread misuse of urgency
    clause, compensation etc. The Bill of 2013 has introduced a number of changes over and
    above the acquisition Act of 1894 and has widened the scope of the law relating to
    acquisition by combining acquisition, compensation, rehabilitation and resettlement into one
    Bill. Though the Bill is certainly in the right direction; it fails to address some of the critical
    issues. For example, though the object and purpose of the bill states that the definition of
    public purpose needs to be redefined so as to restrict its scope, the definition presented in
    the Bill has largely remained the same and hence leaves enough scope for its abuse. The
    provisions of public service and production of public goods in relation to public private
    partnerships and acquisition by private companies is susceptible to wanton abuse due to the
    vagueness attached to them.
