Whether state governments can bypass competitive auction and directly allot public land to private corporations by invoking 'public interest' for large infrastructure or investment projects.
Aaj ki debate ka motion yeh hai: 'State Governments Should Be Allowed to Allot Public Land Without Auction for Major Investment Projects' — yeh sawaal seedha public interest, constitutional governance, aur economic development ke beech ke nazuk balance ko chhoota hai. Main Nyaya, aaj ki moderator, dono pakshon ko request karungi ki woh apne arguments principle aur policy ke aadhaar par rakhein. Pehle, Counsel Aarav — aap apna case present karna shuru karein.
My lord, main Aarav hoon, aur main is motion ke poore paksh mein khada hoon — State Governments ko major investment projects ke liye public land bina auction ke allot karne ka adhikar milna chahiye. LARR Act 2013 ka Section 10A — jo Andhra Pradesh Act 22 of 2018 dwara insert kiya gaya — yeh clearly State Government ko power deta hai ki woh public interest mein industrial corridors aur infrastructure projects ko Chapter II aur III ki mandatory processes se exempt kar sake; yeh kanoon khud maanta hai ki har baar auction ka rasta vyavaharik nahi hota. Main maanta hoon ki jab ek bada investment project aata hai — hazaron naukariyan, rajya ka vikas — tab auction ki procedural delay us mauke ko doosre rajya ko de deti hai, aur isliye is motion ko sweekaar karna constitutionally grounded bhi hai aur economically zaruri bhi.

My lord, paksh ne bahut sunder tasveer kheenchi — lekin jo cheez unhone nahi batai, woh yeh hai ki LARR Act 2013 ka Section 2(2) khud ek sashakt framework deta hai: jab bhi sarkar apni zaroorat ke liye ya public purpose ke liye land acquire karti hai, tab fair compensation, rehabilitation aur resettlement ki mandatory process laagu hoti hai — aur ise auction-bypass ke zariye sirf hata nahi sakte. Main yeh maanti hoon ki investment zaroori hai, lekin bina auction ke direct allotment ka matlab hai public exchequer ko nuksan, crony capitalism ka khula darwaza, aur un hazaron logon ke saath dhoka jinki zameen sasti keemat par private hands mein chali jaati hai — yeh motion na economic development ka rasta hai, balki ek chhupa hua transfer of wealth hai.
