Presented to Chapter 38 members of the International Right of Way Association (IRWA) outlining the eminent domain process, including which property rights are eligible for constitutional protection, who may exercise the power of eminent domain and what procedures must be followed. IRWA is considered the central authority for right of way education for professionals acquiring property rights for highway projects, pipelines, electric lines and other utilities.
By Léna Chiaravalli
In India, the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 gives the right for Government authorities to acquire parcels of land for the implementation of development projects.. In the context of a rapid growth of cities, the process of urbanisation shall accompany the needs of increasing populations. Thus, the Government tends to make use of his eminent domain power –the right to acquire land for a public purpose- very regularly. However, in practice, this process can imply the displacement of the affected landowners, whom are sometimes forced to give away their property in exchange of compensations. These events contributed to feed people’s bitterness for this practice, and the proposed Reforms of the Land Acquisition Act got stalled. Moreover, land acquisition can be extremely costly, and this can compromise the well implementation of related development projects.

This new regulation introduces several provisions impacting toll business entities and toll road users. Find out more out insights about this topic in our Legal Brief publication.
PRECEDENT AS A SOURCE OF LAW (SAIF JAVED).pptxOmGod1
Precedent, or stare decisis, is a cornerstone of common law systems where past judicial decisions guide future cases, ensuring consistency and predictability in the legal system. Binding precedents from higher courts must be followed by lower courts, while persuasive precedents may influence but are not obligatory. This principle promotes fairness and efficiency, allowing for the evolution of the law as higher courts can overrule outdated decisions. Despite criticisms of rigidity and complexity, precedent ensures similar cases are treated alike, balancing stability with flexibility in judicial decision-making.

WINDING UP of COMPANY, Modes of DissolutionKHURRAMWALI
Winding up, also known as liquidation, refers to the legal and financial process of dissolving a company. It involves ceasing operations, selling assets, settling debts, and ultimately removing the company from the official business registry.
Here's a breakdown of the key aspects of winding up:
Reasons for Winding Up:
Insolvency: This is the most common reason, where the company cannot pay its debts. Creditors may initiate a compulsory winding up to recover their dues.
Voluntary Closure: The owners may decide to close the company due to reasons like reaching business goals, facing losses, or merging with another company.
Deadlock: If shareholders or directors cannot agree on how to run the company, a court may order a winding up.
Types of Winding Up:
Voluntary Winding Up: This is initiated by the company's shareholders through a resolution passed by a majority vote. There are two main types:
Members' Voluntary Winding Up: The company is solvent (has enough assets to pay off its debts) and shareholders will receive any remaining assets after debts are settled.
Creditors' Voluntary Winding Up: The company is insolvent and creditors will be prioritized in receiving payment from the sale of assets.
Compulsory Winding Up: This is initiated by a court order, typically at the request of creditors, government agencies, or even by the company itself if it's insolvent.
Process of Winding Up:
Appointment of Liquidator: A qualified professional is appointed to oversee the winding-up process. They are responsible for selling assets, paying off debts, and distributing any remaining funds.
Cease Trading: The company stops its regular business operations.
Notification of Creditors: Creditors are informed about the winding up and invited to submit their claims.
Sale of Assets: The company's assets are sold to generate cash to pay off creditors.
Payment of Debts: Creditors are paid according to a set order of priority, with secured creditors receiving payment before unsecured creditors.
Distribution to Shareholders: If there are any remaining funds after all debts are settled, they are distributed to shareholders according to their ownership stake.
Dissolution: Once all claims are settled and distributions made, the company is officially dissolved and removed from the business register.
Impact of Winding Up:
Employees: Employees will likely lose their jobs during the winding-up process.
Creditors: Creditors may not recover their debts in full, especially if the company is insolvent.
Shareholders: Shareholders may not receive any payout if the company's debts exceed its assets.
Winding up is a complex legal and financial process that can have significant consequences for all parties involved. It's important to seek professional legal and financial advice when considering winding up a company.

Responsibilities of the office bearers while registering multi-state cooperat...Finlaw Consultancy Pvt Ltd
Introduction-
The process of register multi-state cooperative society in India is governed by the Multi-State Co-operative Societies Act, 2002. This process requires the office bearers to undertake several crucial responsibilities to ensure compliance with legal and regulatory frameworks. The key office bearers typically include the President, Secretary, and Treasurer, along with other elected members of the managing committee. Their responsibilities encompass administrative, legal, and financial duties essential for the successful registration and operation of the society.
In 2020, the Ministry of Home Affairs established a committee led by Prof. (Dr.) Ranbir Singh, former Vice Chancellor of National Law University (NLU), Delhi. This committee was tasked with reviewing the three codes of criminal law. The primary objective of the committee was to propose comprehensive reforms to the country’s criminal laws in a manner that is both principled and effective.
The committee’s focus was on ensuring the safety and security of individuals, communities, and the nation as a whole. Throughout its deliberations, the committee aimed to uphold constitutional values such as justice, dignity, and the intrinsic value of each individual. Their goal was to recommend amendments to the criminal laws that align with these values and priorities.
Subsequently, in February, the committee successfully submitted its recommendations regarding amendments to the criminal law. These recommendations are intended to serve as a foundation for enhancing the current legal framework, promoting safety and security, and upholding the constitutional principles of justice, dignity, and the inherent worth of every individual.

1. ILYANA ISKANDAR
LAND ACQUISITION
1. Art. 13 Federal Constitution
No person shall be deprived of property save in accordance with the law
No law shall provide for the compulsory acquisition or use of property without adequate
compensation.
2. Art. 76(4) Federal Constitution:
Parliament may for the purpose only of ensuring uniformity of law and policy make laws
with respect to…’compulsory acquisition of land.’
LAA 1960 = a consolidation of previous state enactments on land acquisition and is
based on the Indian Land Acquisition Act 1894.
3. Land Acquisition as Inherent Right of State Authority as ‘eminent domain’.
Modern laws on compulsory land acquisition comes from the concept of ‘eminent
domain’ under USA law.
The government as the eminent domain has an inherent right to take and appropriate
private land belonging to citizens for public use.
In Islam, this right is called ‘Ta’mim’ where the Islamic state may acquire private land
due to ‘maslahah ammah’. (e.g. case of the People of Bajeela)
4. Rationale for Land Acquisition?
Doctrine of ‘salus populi suprema lex’ – the interests of the public are paramount - S.
Kulasingam & Anor. v Comm. Of Lands, FT
Principle of ‘eminent domain’ – inherent right of the state - Charanjit Lal v Union of
India
5. Scope of Acquiring Powers
This relates to the ‘purpose of acquisition’ in section 3 of the LAA, 1960.
See s.3(1)(a), 3(1)(b) and 3(1) (c).
The State Authority is not confined to acquire land only under one purpose but may
combine all.
s. 3(1)(b) was an amendment in 1991
a)Section 3(1)(b) formerly read:
b) ‘by any person or corporation undertaking a work which in the opinion
of the State Authority is for public utility’.
c) The amended s.3(1)(b) gives a wider purpose.‘for any purpose…beneficial to
the economic development of Malaysia or any part thereof or to the public
generally or any class of the public.’
S. 3(1)(c) also amended
a)To include ‘recreational purposes or any combination of such purposes’.
b) This would enable the acquisition of land for the building of resorts and
golf clubs as well or any other tourism type of development.
What is meant by ‘public purpose’?
a)Yew Lean Finance Dvpt M’sia S/B v Director of Lands and Mines, Penang
2. ILYANA ISKANDAR
1. Facts:
a. The Pf purchased a piece of land in Province Wellesley in 1972
with the intention of developing it into a housing complex.
b. Its architect’s plan for the project was rejected by the District
Council on the grounds that the land was being acquired for
residential, industrial and public purpose.
c. The Pf’s contended that the land was being acquired for some
vague purpose and thus the Notice of Intended Acquisition was
null and void.
Issue:
d. Whether the notice had to particularise the specific purpose?
2. Held:
a. It would not be possible/practical to specify the exact
purpose as long as it was for public purpose.
b. There was no need for the State Authority to confine its
acquisition of land to purposes which came under one head
only i.e. either s.3(1)(a), s.3(1)(b) or s. 3(1)(c).
b) Syed Omar Alsagoff v Govt of Johore
1. Resp. had acquired some 5700 acres of land belonging to the App.,
where only 2000 acres were actually needed for the Pasir Gudang Port
project.
2. The rest of 3700 acres was marked vaguely for ‘special purposes’.
3. The App. challenged the acquisition asserting that the land was in fact
acquired for purposes other than those permitted under the LAA 1960.
4. Held: In the absence of bad faith, it is not possible to challenge that a
portion of the land to which the declaration in the Gazette relates is in
fact wanted for purposes other than those specified.Once the
declaration in Form D is published in the Gazette under s.8(1) of the LAA
1960, this is conclusive evidence that the land is needed for such
purposes in the declaration. Thus, cannot be challenged. (See s.8(3) LAA
1960)
c)S. Kulasingam & Anor. v Comm. Of Lands, FT & Ors.
1. The expresion ‘public purpose’ is incapable of a precise definition…but
in my view it is still best to employ a simple common sense test, that is,
to see whether the purpose serves the general interest of the
community
6. Acquisition of land under s.3(b) and (c) LAA 1960
LAA 1960 - amended in 1998 to include provisions on the administrative framework for
land acquisition where it is done by application of a person/corporation under para. (b)
and/or (c) of section 3(1).
3. ILYANA ISKANDAR
Application is made in writing to the Land Administrator who will then transmit it to the
State Economic Planning Unit (State EPU) or the FT Special Committee for Land
Acquisition.
Condition:
a)An application for land acquisition under s.3(2) will not be approved if the
applicant had already obtained ‘development approval’ (i.e. planning
permission from the local planning authority, etc.) and the project is not for
public utility.
b) (see s.3(6))
Requirements (s.3(3)):
a) project proposal
b) lay out and land acquisition plan
c) preliminary Government valuation report
d) fee and deposit required under the LA Rules
7. How will the State EPU/FT Special Committee decide?
See s.3A:
a)public interest,
b) capacity & capability of applicant to carry out the project,
c)feasibility of the project,
d) the development approval granted to the applicant.
8. Possibility for Land Owner to Participate in Project
s.3A(2) allows the State EPU/ FT Committee to consider the participation of the land
owner in the project where development proposal has been obtained and the project is
for public utility.
S.3A (3) and (4) allows the applicant to negotiate terms with the land owner on the type
of arrangement for participation.
If negotiations are successful, no land acquisition.
If fails, land acquisition may proceed.
Application then transmitted to the State Authority with State EPU/FT Committee
recomendations.
9. Special Committee for Land Acquisition
See members of this committee listed in s.3C.
Application for land acquisition will be considered by this committee (s.3D)before it is
approved by the State Authority under s.3E.
10. Withdrawal of Application for LA
An applicant for land acquisition under s.3(2) may withdraw its application before the
Declaration of Intended Acquisition is gazetted under s.8 LAA 1960 by giving notice in
writing to the LA.
Persons interested may be compensated for any inconvenience caused by the initial
application of the applicant from the deposit put in by the applicant earlier.
4. ILYANA ISKANDAR
11. Procedure for Land Acquisition
3 stages involved
