BENGALURU: It is mandatory for the state ( government) to notify all the persons interested in the land , including the tenant and hear their objections before taking a decision to issue a final declaration, the Dharwad bench of the high court has ruled in a recent judgement.
The court has noted that the definition of the term "person interested" as contained under Section 3(x) of Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013, brings within its purview a person having tenancy rights and also a person whose primary source of livelihood is likely to be adversely affected by the proposed acquisition and thus, these categories of persons are also clothed with the right to object to the acquisition.
