A State Government plans to acquire 50 acres of Scheduled Tribes (ST) land in a Scheduled Area, with no applicable SIA exemption for an industrial park. As per the applicable law, the following steps are proposed :
(i) Preliminary notification
(ii) Social Impact Assessment (SIA)
(iii) Gram Sabha consultation/consent
(iv) Final notification
Which of the following statements is correct ?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
Under the 2013 land-acquisition Act, acquisition of land in a Scheduled Area requires prior consent of the concerned Gram Sabha or local body under section 41, and where no exemption applies a Social Impact Assessment must precede the preliminary notification. The correct statement is therefore "SIA and Gram Sabha consultation/consent are mandatory for ST land; acquisition can't proceed without consent."; these safeguards cannot be replaced by mere owner consent.
