    has the system of land registration achieved its aims

    The system of registration under the LRA 1925 and 2002 was intended to optimise the market in land, by promoting simplification of conveyancing, transparency, free alienability and the protection of vulnerable interests. Central to this is the mirror principle, where the Land Register is supposed to reflect all rights in rem germane to the land. From the position of a prospective purchaser of a piece of land, there are two questions which would take immediate priority. Firstly, the title question - if the title holder actually has the rights he claims to possess (_nemo dat_ principle); and secondly, the adverse rights question - if there are any third party rights over the land which may interfere with their intended use of it. With a system of registration, the purchaser may simply consult the…

    “Advantages associated with proposed changes and intensification of Land Use include greater short-term economic productivity, improved jobs/housing ratio, increased employment base and increased tax and related revenues for the area. Increases in revenue and community convenience generated as a result of implementation of the Draft Framework Plan will, however, be offset by the expenditures necessary to provide the supporting services and related resources to selected infrastructure improvements that, once built and financed, would serve the area. Disadvantages normally associated with this short-term productivity include:…

    Land Acquisition Act: Fair Compensation, and Transparency in Rehabilitation and Resettlement

    Its footing goes back in 2007 when UPA government introduced Amendment bill, 2007 in parliament. After that land acquisition act, 2009 and the rehabilitation and resettlement bill, 2009 was introduced in parliament. Both bill lapsed in parliament. National Advisory Council after digging into depth of circumstances and issues related to land acquisition decided to recommend a single comprehensive legislation, i.e. “National Development, Land Acquisition, Resettlement and Rehabilitation Act.”, rather than the two separate ones, viz. Land Acquisition (Amendment) Bill 2009 (LAA 2009) and Resettlement and Rehabilitation Bill, 2009 (R&R 2009).1 Thus in furtherance of it the LARR bill, 2011was introduced in the parliament, which was passed in 2013 and became an act.…

    Declaration of Principles and Policies

    While the grounds for cancellation of EPs and CLOAs under DAR AO No. 2, series of 1994 are generally valid, setting a prescriptive period for the cancellation of EPs and CLOAs is in order. Truly, it is the height of callousness to cancel EPs or CLOAs of farmer beneficiaries who have been, for years, diligently amortizing payments to their lands. With regard to DAR AO No. 3, series of 1996, it would also be unjust that farmer beneficiaries be made to suffer in a fault they did not have any part of. In awarding parcels of land to farmer beneficiaries, it is the DAR that negotiates with the landowners and farmer beneficiaries. The latter two parties do not have direct negotiation with each other except if the land will be under the direct payment scheme. In addition, it is the government and not the farmer beneficiaries that determines which lands would be covered by land reform. The farmer’s participation only…

    Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Law of 1988

    The agrarian reform program is founded on the right of farmers and regular farmworkers, who are landless, to own directly or collectively the lands they till or, in the case of other farm workers, to receive a just share of the fruits thereof. To this end, the State shall encourage and undertake the just distribution of all agricultural lands, subject to the priorities and retention limits set forth in this Act, having taken into account ecological, developmental, and equity considerations, and subject to the payment of just compensation. The State shall respect the right of small landowners, and shall provide incentives for voluntary land-sharing.…
