Conclusion

There is a need to balance the right to property with the development of the society and the country as a whole. Few steps that can be taken in this regard are:

♤ Land records should be computerized.

♤ There is a need to develop institutions and processes that are easily accessible and provide mechanisms to the people to definitely establish their land titles.

♤ Government must follow guidelines prescribed by the Supreme Court whilst calculating fair compensation. LARR Act can be reformed in this regard.

♤ Large scale displacements must be avoided. But if necessary, then appropriate rehabilitation must be provided and the compensation should cover the social cost of displacement as well.
