Abstract
In this chapter, we start with a brief history of Eminent Domain and introduce the Indian tradition with respect to Eminent Domain. After introducing the Eminent Domain in the Colonial period, we discuss the important case of Mulshi Satyagraha. Then, we move on to the use of Eminent Domain in the post-Independence period. This section covers the period till LAAR 2013. The next section covers the objections to Eminent Domain; which is followed by a section on LARR 2013 and what has happened after it.
