Section 19 Declaration | R&R Land Distinct from Acquisition Land but Still Covered Under Statutory Framework: Allahabad HC

The Allahabad High Court has ruled that land designated for rehabilitation and resettlement under Section 19(2) of the Land Acquisition Act, 2013, is legally distinct from the land being acquired, but remains part of the same statutory process. This clarifies that consent from 73.02% of affected families validly covers both acquisition and R&R components, reinforcing the validity of PPP-based infrastructure projects under the Act.
