The Supreme Court on December 10 sought the responses of five states that have been brought to court for diluting the norms prescribed under the Land Acquisition Act of 2013. A plea was earlier filed in the SC, challenging the validity of the "contradictory amendments" made by Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, Telengana, Tamil Nadu and Jharkhand in the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act. By making these amendments in the Central Act, the states have exempted projects such as industrial corridors, expressways and highways from seeking consent of the people involved, claims the plea.
