Punjab and Haryana HC Calls for Land Acquisition Registry reform

The Punjab and Haryana High Court has issued a significant call for reform in land acquisition processes. In a recent ruling, the court emphasised the need to adopt a more transparent and accountable system to prevent the registration of sale deeds for acquired land. This move aims to curb illegal transactions and ensure that land acquired for public purposes is utilised as intended. The court's decision comes in response to concerns about the misuse of land acquired for various development projects, including infrastructure and public amenities. By preventing the registration of sale deeds without proper verification, the court intends to safeguard public assets and promote fair land acquisition practices.
This ruling is expected to have a far-reaching impact on land acquisition procedures in Punjab and Haryana, potentially setting a precedent for other regions in India. It underscores the importance of a robust and transparent system to ensure that acquired land serves the greater public good, rather than becoming a source of illegal transactions and disputes.
