#Adi Dravidar Welfare

Madras HC rules that administrative delays in executing land assignment orders for Adi Dravidar beneficiaries violate constitutional rights under Article 21. The court mandates a 12-week deadline for survey and demarcation, ensuring timely implementation of welfare schemes and protecting marginalized communities' right to shelter.

Madras High Court holds that Section 24(2) of the 2013 Land Acquisition Act does not apply to acquisitions under special statutes like Act 31 of 1978, where no re-conveyance mechanism exists.
