HUDA: New CLU policy

As per the redefined policy of the Town and Country Planning Department, Haryana, now the department will not entertain any application for the change of land use (CLU) pertaining to land for which the land acquisition collector has already issued final notices under Section
6 of Land Acquisition Act (LAA) of the state.

Besides reducing litigation for officials of the Town and Country Planning Department and LAC of the revenue district concerned, the new policy will also help the HUDA to create its own land bank for carving out urban estates, residential and commercial complexes across the state.

The new policy is quite clear on the land under acquisition. Since Section 4 is simply a notification showing government's intention of acquiring land, hence landowner has enough time to seek legal remedy. And, once notices under Section 6 are served, it means, land has to be acquired. So, no application for license or CLU would be entertained.
