The Supreme Court brought curtains on a decade-old litigation started by the families affected by the Sardar Sarovar project on Narmada River as it directed payment of final compensation to the oustees, also paving way for the dam to operate at its full capacity.

A bench headed by Chief Justice JS Khehar ordered payment of Rs 60 lakh each to 681 families in Madhya Pradesh who did not receive compensation towards purchase of land in lieu of the property they lost under the acquisition proceedings for the project.

Two months time was given to the government to make the payment and a deadline of July 31 was fixed for the families to vacate the area. If they fail to do so, the authorities can resort to evict them, the court said.

“You cannot take everybody for ransom. You are not letting the project come up. When they offer you land, you don’t want it,” the bench told the counsel representing Narmada Bachao Aandolan (NBA).

The association, fighting for the affected families, had moved the top court in 2014 stating the relief and rehabilitation work adopted by MP government was not in terms of the SC’s earlier order.

NBA wanted the court to stop the installation of gates upto full dam heights until the government rehabilitated all those whose lands would get submerged once the dam operates fully. SC also ordered a payment of Rs 15 lakh each to 1358 families, who had accepted the compensation earlier.

“They need to be further compensated so as to alleviate their hardship and enable them to purchase alternative land,” the bench said. However, the court clarified the amount already received by them shall be deducted from this money.
