Judicial failure on land acquisition for corporations
Despite the 1984 amendment of
the Land Acquisition Act, 1894,

allow farmland to be acquired
freely, with “public purpose”
being given the widest possible

The health of mining and wealth of miners
All discussion of illegal mining, specially of iron ore, has to keep in mind two things. First, the nature of legality cannot be defined in narrow terms of mining laws, but needs to cover the environmental and social goods that lie in its ambit. Second, the massive growth in mining is directly related to the nature of economic liberalisation and loosening of government controls.
