Applicability of the Land Acquisition Act 2013 to National Highway acquisitions - Multiple sources confirm that the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 (RFCTLARR Act, 2013) applies to land acquisitions for National Highways. Courts have held that provisions of the 2013 Act are applicable to ensure fair compensation and procedural transparency, even when the National Highways Act, 1956, is also involved Sudheer Kumar V.

Vs UNION OF INDIA, - Kerala, SUJITH PADINJAREKANDY Vs THE UNION OF INDIA - Kerala.
Procedural compliance and exceptions - While the RFCTLARR Act generally applies, some judicial rulings suggest that certain procedural aspects of the National Highways Act, 1956, particularly under Section 105(3) and Schedule 4, may not be strictly required for land acquisition processes, especially concerning land acquisition procedures and compensation determination G.

Legal challenges and interpretations - Courts have examined whether the provisions of the 2013 Act override or supplement the National Highways Act, 1956. The consensus is that the 2013 Act's provisions, especially regarding fair compensation, resettlement, and transparency, are applicable to land acquired for National Highways, and in some cases, the 2013 Act's applicability is explicitly upheld Sudheer Kumar V. V. , S/O. Late Achuthan Vydier VS National Highways Authority Of India (Ministry Of Road Transport And Highways) - Kerala, KESAVAN.G vs The Union of India - Madras, SREEJITH S. Vs UNION OF INDIA, - Kerala.
