Property Law In India
Property is a system of rights that gives people legal control of valuable things, and also refers to the valuable things themselves. Depending on the nature of the property, an owner of property may have the right to consume, alter, share, redefine, rent, mortgage, pawn, sell, exchange, transfer, give away or destroy it, or to exclude others from doing these things, as well as to perhaps abandon it; whereas regardless of the nature of the property, the owner thereof has the right to properly use it under the granted property rights. In economics and political economy, there are three broad forms of property: private property, public property, and collective property (also called cooperative property). Property that jointly belongs to more than one party may be possessed or controlled thereby in very similar or very distinct ways, whether simply or complexly, whether equally or unequally. However, there is an expectation that each party's will (rather discretion) with rega ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
2011 Land Acquisition Protests In Uttar Pradesh
The Government of Uttar Pradesh in India, has faced protests against its proposed forced land acquisition in 2011. These protests have been centred on the twin adjacent villages of Bhatta and Parsaul near Dankaur in Gautam Buddha Nagar district and have resulted in sporadic incidents of violence since January of that year. In August 2010 there had been protests against the state government in Delhi and these had resulted in three deaths. The issue is controversial because around 65% of the Indian population is economically dependent on agriculture but the government has the power to requisition any private land which it thinks is needed for a "public purpose". Past examples of this included several acquisitions by regional authorities across India for the purpose of developing Special Economic Zones to boost the economy and create jobs. In this instance, the state government of Uttar Pradesh has requisitioned the land for the building of the Yamuna Expressway, a road linking Agr ...

Public Use
Public use is a legal requirement under the Takings Clause ("nor shall private property be taken for public use without just compensation") of the Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, that owners of property seized by eminent domain for "public use" be paid "just compensation." The distinction between ''public use'' and ''public purpose'' has created a doctrinally confusing and highly controversial subset of public use doctrine. This controversy was renewed after the Supreme Court's decision in ''Kelo v. City of New London'' (2005). In that decision, the Court upheld the precedent regarding economic development takings set forth in ''Hawaii Housing Authority v. Midkiff'' and ''Berman v. Parker'', and permitted, in a 5–4 decision, the taking of private property that was to be transferred to a private developer. In '' United States v. Gettysburg Electric Ry.
