    "content": "Section 32 of the Land Act, 2012 is also being amended to ensure that if land is required for public purpose, the court may not grant relief against forfeiture. That is an area that spots Section 32, forfeiture of license and lease. What is being done here is to try to control the courts. I know the frustration that public officers and the Executive – and even all of us, as persons who are interested in the development of our areas - have had with the courts in so far as court orders that stop projects and inordinate delays in decisions of the court. However, I think our reaction constitutionally is not to try to limit the ability of the courts to entertain any relief that may be sought by any person in regard to land compensation and matters related. This is an area that I think is better left to the discretion of the courts, even though we must continue having a conversation in the country on how to ensure that decisions of the court are expeditious, but also take into regard public interest."
