The Ayodhya hospital eviction case shows why rehabilitation and compensation matter when public infrastructure displaces leaseholding shopkeepers. High Court questions eviction of 6 shopkeepers without determining leases or proposing rehabilitation or compensation for them. Affected landowners and farmer representatives have demanded clear written assurances on market valuation and fair compensation norms before field surveys or land acquisition proceed. District officials are expected to hold consultations with local stakeholders to resolve the impasse.
