basic question to ALL
by imran patel on Jul 11, 2008 12:29 AM

Does the state/central government have the AUTHORITY to award Public land to any group/individual/foundation ?

In my opinion, NO.

Public property means it is the property of the people of that state/nation/city.

The government is the custodian of that property. A caretaker, not the owner.

If the government wants to allocate/award land, it must do so by the consent of the people. This can be done in two ways,

- Put it on the ballot and let people decide.
- Introduce a bill in the state assembly and let people vote on it.

Let me repeat. Government (PM/CM) do not have the constitutional authority to give away public property without the proper consent.

They are not KINGS !!!
