‘Blatant disregard of law’, SC orders demolition of illegal construction in Faridabad forest land

“The unfortunate and distressing consequence of this is that because of a complete lack of any concern for the environmental and ecological degradation carried out in the Aravalli hills by influential colonizers like the applicant and what appears to be a very strong mining lobby in Haryana, the damage caused to the Aravalli hills is irreversible.”

Enumerating the ecological damage that has been caused by this activity, the judgment also states that there has been acute water shortage and lake Badkal, once a tourist spot, has also dried up.

“It is not only the future generations that have to pay a heavy price for this environmental degradation, but even the present generation is paying a heavy price for the environmental and ecological degradation inasmuch as there is an acute water shortage in the area…

…In addition, what was once a popular tourist destination, namely, Badkal Lake has now vanished and the entire water body has become bone dry. What are the more severe consequences that will be felt in the years to come, only time and nature will tell.” Read more

Father Stan Swamy, Children and the Unholy State

Stan Swamy has brought to light the deplorable conditions in which the undertrials are barely surviving and has sought answers for such repressive and illegal measures meted out by the State, while also fighting for the rights of Adivasis in Jharkhand.

On the morning of August 28, 2018, several human rights activists from various parts of the country were arrested and the homes of few others were raided. ‘Urban Naxal’ is the new unceremonious epithet that has been conferred on these activists by sections of our cacophonous media. The raids, conducted by the Maharashtra Police, were carried out as part of a probe into the violence at Bhima Koregaon – triggered by an event called Elgar Parishad held in Pune on December 31, 2017. One such ‘Urban Maoist’ is the 81-year-old Jesuit priest, Father Stan Swamy. Read more

HC upholds Section 105 of land acquisition Act

The Madras High Court on Tuesday upheld the constitutional validity of Section 105 of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement (RFCT) Act of 2013. The provision was challenged because it exempts certain chapters of the legislation from being made applicable to acquisitions for national highways, railways, electricity and 10 other purposes.

A Division Bench of Justices T.S. Sivagnanam and V. Bhavani Subbaroyan held that striking down Section 105 would actually be detrimental, and not beneficial, to those whose lands were being acquired for national highways. The judges said the land owners might get deprived of benefits such as rehabilitation and resettlement provided to them. Read more
