Take was a poor choice of words. The Saha's had no intention of selling and would have preferred to keep their land. They managed to lose only 5 acres. Now, can the local government purchase all 48 acres and the Saha's would be forced to sell?
Thank you for the additional reference. I will look into it all.
Yes, they may be forced by court order to sell. This was always the case, however now it comes as a surprise to many, both on the Left and on the Right. It seems there was something left out of our public education class in civics. Or maybe we slept in class that day--all of us.
