    Welcome to the world of uncertainty and consequent large movements in all asset classes. Globally all asset classes were in turmoil as US Federal Reserve has hinted that they may be withdrawing quantitative easing in gradual fashion as US economy is strengthening. India has also felt the tremor. INR has depreciated against USD by 5% while touching life time low at 60.73, yield on benchmark 10 year Government bond inched up by 22 bps while Sensex was down by 2.4% during the month. India’s foreign exchange reserves has hit a ten month lows to $287 billion from a high of $320 billion in September 2012. The depreciating rupee, demand for foreign exchange from oil companies and FII’s capital out flow has compelled RBI to intervene in foreign exchange market intermittently to curb the volatility. This will be keeping foreign reserves under pressure in near future. RBI has also adopted the cautions stance while keeping its key policy rate & CRR unchanged in its June 2013 monitory policy review after three successive repo rate cuts. This will help assess the recent and expected currency movement and the impact of the same on inflation, Current Account Deficit (CAD) and foreign capital flows. Indian economy continues to face both demand and supply headwinds, which is reflected in recent data points. IIP grew by 2.0% YoY in April 2013 against 2.5% YoY in the month of March 2103, after posting better than expected figures in the previous three months. The weakness is prevalent across all components of the IIP except consumer non- durable which grew by 12.3% YoY. The growth in manufacturing and capital goods dipped to 2.8% and 1.0% respectively, compared to 4.2% and 9.0% in March 2013. The manufacturing PMI has been declining for 3 months in a row and fell to a 50-month low of 50.1 in May 2103. The IIP too seems to be reflecting this downward trend with a…

    Land acquisition is the process by which the government forcibly acquires private property for public purpose without the consent of the land-owner. It is thus different from a land purchase, in which the sale is made by a willing seller. The evolution of Law of Land Acquisition as it exists today in various forms in different statutes in India has undergone an evolution in the last decade. Originally the wishes of owners of property were totally irrelevant, but at present, the law tries to provide various provisions for objections and alternative remedies in case of inadequacy of compensation. In English Law the concept is known as the Law of Compulsory Purchase and under the United States Law it is known as the Power of Eminent Domain. This law empowers the state, (as an exception to the general rule) to compel an owner of the property to submit the property to the state or any agency or an entity authorized by the state because the same is required for the use of the state or such an agency or entity of the state. The concept that underlines such an act and the rationale behind such an act lays in the concept of Utilitarianism which emphasis on the fact that community good is paramount to the right of individual to hold property. The underlining principle of Land Acquisition, Power of Eminent Domain or the Law of Compulsory Acquisition whatever it may be called can be summarized by the legal maxim salus propuli est supreme lex, meaning welfare of the people is paramount in law. Compulsory acquisition of property involves expropriation of private rights in the property; it is a restraint on the right of private owners to be able to dispose off property according to their wish. The Law of Land Acquisition is intended to legalize the taking up, for public purposes, or for a company, of land which is private property of individuals the owners and occupiers, and pay equitable compensation therefore calculated at market value of land acquired, plus an…
