Normally, the direct purchase of lands from nearby villages by a private company for its expansion of existing plant is a mere transfer of property under the Transfer of Property Act,1882. Therefore it is not mandatory to give employment in the company to any family member of the seller of the land.
However if the land is acquired under the provisions of the Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act,2013, sec.31 of the Act provides for employment or annuity payments to the families of both land owners and others whose livelihood is dependent on the land acquired.
