Land ownership in India has always been a risky proposition. The
hitherto unfettered power of acquisition and the refusal of the
Parliament to recognize the right to own property as a fundamental
one, had emboldened the state to stake claim on any land it saw
fit. However, in the years 2012-2014, the Government of India
embarked on an exercise to not just amend but to rewrite the law on
acquisition. This process saw the radical polarization of public
opinion into two sharp sides -those who saw acquisition as a
necessary tool to India's development (given the absence of other
mechanisms guaranteeing clear title), and those who were sharply
opposed to an archaic relic that defied the rule of law. This book
attempts to explain the rationale employed behind each and every
provision by the then Minister and his Principle Aide who helped
draft the law. The book is a firsthand account of the challenges
faced and the factors that drove the decisions in regulating the
State's approach to a resource that is arguably the most important
in a land deficit people surplus nation.
This textbook is a comprehensive and accessible guide to Trusts Law
and has been thoroughly updated to reflect recent developments in
the area. The authors bring a unique combination of academic rigour
and hands-on commercial experience to the explanation of their
subject and it is these practical insights which make the book
essential reading for all law students. Many law students struggle
with the concept of Trusts Law and it can take time to properly
understand the complex body of rules that surround it. This book
will help demystify some of these rules and put Trusts Law into a
practical context, allowing students the time to develop a deep and
critical understanding of the topic. This book is an ideal
companion for both law undergraduate and GDL/CPE students. New to
this Edition: - A new chapter on creating a trust
