The government, however, claimed the High Court order would hamper several projects and cause ‘significant negative impact on the State economy’. The Bill was tabled by minister RB Udayakumar. It said a whopping 23,804 hectares of land had been acquired under the three Acts since 2013, of which just 1,373 hectares had been put to use. The court order had exempted lands which had already been put to use.
