Abstract: Land in India serves as a symbol of social identity, status, power, and riches in addition to being a source of food and subsistence. The legal framework for acquiring, possessing, and managing property for people and corporations is provided by the notion of property regime. However, the governments must use the eminent domain principle to take over vast swaths of land in order to acquire them for public purpose to preserve the momentum of growth and development. In India, the state primarily uses the Land Acquisition Act and the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation, and Resettlement (RFCTLARR) Act 2013 to exercise its eminent domain powers. Despite the fact that the Act contains mechanisms for offering financial compensation to the affected parties, the losses sustained as a result of the purchase cannot always be put into monetary terms. The purpose of the paper is to study the body of knowledge regarding India’s laws governing land acquisition, eminent domain, and the concept of public purpose. The study also aims to identify the effects of expropriation that the impacted people have to deal with, and the resettlement and rehabilitation practices adopted by the government.
