#Rehabilitation and Resettlement

Telangana High Court rules that landowners are entitled to Rehabilitation & Resettlement (R&R) benefits and compensation for structures/crops under the RFCTLARR Act 2013 before dispossession. The Court directed authorities to adjudicate claims within four weeks, reinforcing natural justice in land acquisition proceedings. This ruling impacts landowners facing premature dispossession without due compensation.

Uttarakhand High Court rules that writ petitions under Article 226 are inadmissible for land acquisition compensation disputes involving contested facts, mandating statutory remedy under Section 64 of the Right to Fair Compensation Act, 2013. The decision reinforces the Alternative Remedy Doctrine, impacting landowners challenging compensation awards.
