  2. Hearing on PIL of Narmada Bachao Andolan.
  3. Demand to increase coefficient in land acquisition compensation.

New Duniya Representative, Jabalpur: The couple of Chief Justice of the High Court Suresh Kumar Kait and Justice Vivek Jain lashed out at the attitude of not presenting the reply despite giving several opportunities. With this, the state government was fined 30 thousand rupees.

Dispute to land compensation

Alok Aggarwal, senior activist of the Narmada Bachao Andolan, informed that according to the new Land Acquisition Act, 2013, a coefficient in the compensation of land acquired in rural areas will be multiplied by a coefficient which will be between one and two. The more distance from the urban area, the more this coefficient will increase.

Prices of land were judged low

This status has been kept due to low prices of land in rural areas. But in violation of this by the Government of Madhya Pradesh, this coefficient has been set for all rural areas, which gives very little compensation when the land is acquired.

A public interest litigation has been demanded by the Narmada Bachao Andolan against this decision of the state government. In this, the emphasis has been given to order to multiply this illegal decision of the government, to multiply the compensation with appropriate coefficients.

In this way, poor villagers are suffering a lot of damage. If the government is not responding, then the entire land acquisition in the state should be banned.

On this, on asking for another final opportunity from the government, the High Court ordered that the government’s reply would be accepted only when it will be paid to the PIL Narmada Bachao Andolan Rs 15,000 and the High Court Law Service Committee will pay Rs 15,000 in two weeks.
