Does the land acquisition department come under the RTI Act?

Answer at Quora by YB on 27th Jan 2019

Yes. Land related information can be sought under RTI from Revenue Dept which is a Govt Dept and a public authority. Land is a state subject, but acquisition and requisition of land property is under concurrent list.

Though ‘right to property' is a constitutional right, the doctrine of “Eminent Domain” empowers the Govt to take private property for public use as provided under LA Resettlement & Rehabilitation Act 2013 and other State laws upon fair compensation and in transparency after conducting social impact study on such acquisition.

Thus, land acquisition process falls under RTI.
