Clarification

In the judgment of the following case:
Supreme Court of India
Tamil Nadu Housing Board vs A. Viswam (Dead) By Lrs on 9 February, 1996
Equivalent citations: JT 1996 (2), 549 1996 SCALE (2)418
Bench: Ramaswamy, K.
the sentence quoted below forms an essential part:
"Section 12 [3] of the Act itself exempts registration of the land acquired under the Act."
Can anyone provide the text of that particular sec.12(3)?

" registered alienation after 4(1) notification of la act"

I would lke to hear from any lawyer who has ever handled a case wherein registered alienation has happened after 4(1) notification of the LA Act, 1894.
Alternatively I would also like to hear from any person who has been deprived of his land under Land acquisition proceedings.

Kindly give me a call at 9444001884 or email to kbmadras@rediffmail.com

Unconstituionality

“Unconstitutional”
1. In the cases under the category “registered alienation after 4(1) notification” under the LA Act,1894( instances: 1.Wp 3031 of 2004 Bombay High Court. 2. JT 1995(6) SC 274., 3. 1996 AIR 540) the registered title holders of the relevant lands have been deprived of their respective properties.
2. This is in violation of article 300A of the Indian Constitution which says:
3[CHAPTER IV.—RIGHT TO PROPERTY
300A. No person shall be deprived of his property
save by authority of law.]
3. If the ‘law’ referred to in the above-mentioned section of the Indian Constitution includes, the LA Act, 1894( among other less applied Acts that involve land acquisition/deprivation of property), is it not absolutely essential that the person who is so deprived of his property under that Act, is without fail :
A) served a notice(u/s 4(1) of the LA Act, 1894) by the LAO, before such deprivation?
B) given a fair hearing of his view or objections( u/s 5-A of the same Act) by the LAO, before such deprivation.
4. If the above-mentioned argument is right, an analysis of any of the ‘000s of cases of “alienation after 4(1) notification” under the LA Act,1894, in the 118 year history of the Act, (like the instances as shown in the three above-mentioned citations) will reveal that the relevant person( the registered title-holder) in every such case has been deprived of his property, without being served a notice as per the Act and without being heard of his views or objections as per the Act.
5. Therefore my contention is that the deprivation of property of (almost)all persons in all cases of “alienation after 4(1) notification under the LA Act, 1894” is unconstitutional and therefore all judgments that enforce/d such deprivation should be declared unconstitutional and therefore void.
6. Invariably one can understand that it is a case of issuing a notice to Mr.X, hearing him and letting him go and years later sending Mr.Y to the gallows in place of Mr.X. My contention is that such sending MR.Y to the gallows without notice, inquiry/hearing is illogical & unconstitutional. (If the authority wants to hang Mr.Y, it should issue notice to him, hear him and if grounds for sending to the gallows are available still as per the Act, then it can send him to the gallows. That would be logical, legal and constitutional and there is no question or regret about it.)

Unconstitutional?

3[CHAPTER IV.—RIGHT TO PROPERTY
300A. No person shall be deprived of his property
save by authority of law.]

If the ‘law’ referred to in the above-mentioned section of the Indian Constitution includes, the LA Act, 1894( among other less applied Acts that involve land acquisition/deprivation of property), is it not absolutely essential that the person who is so deprived of his property under that Act, is without fail :
A) served a notice as per the same Act by the land acquiring authority, before such deprivation?
B) given a fair hearing of his view or objections, by the land acquiring authority, before such deprivation?
C) given a fair compensation for such deprivation?

If the answer is ‘yes’ to all the above-cited questions, and if any citizen of India is deprived of his property under pretext of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, with the acquiring authority adhering to none of the conditions a) to c), can such deprivation of property be termed unconstitutional?

global peace index and countries with deficient laws

There appears to be a rough(if not perfect) correlation between the Global Peace Index and the countries which do not prescribe for the compulsory registrability of notification under LA in comparison with the countries which have such prescription in place.

Refer:http://economicsandpeace.org/WhatWeDo/GPI

and compare with the Registrability tables I have uploaded in the files section.
