<p>Law and space are mutually constitutive of each other. An inquiry into this inescapable relationship, therefore, demands a critical engagement with how both intersect. Legal geography, in this regard, provides an analytical spatial lens for diagnosing this intersection and determining the territorial impacts of law on the people inhabiting the spaces. It thus helps ascertain whether the formal application of law results in meaningful spatial justice for the vulnerable people. In this context, India presents a critical site for the legal-spatial inquiry, where the legalities, as applied from above, do not merely regulate space, but routinely produce spatial orderings, hierarchies, and, consequently, inequalities below. The paper argues that laws, particularly those concerning land acquisition and eviction in India, function as abstract rules that often conceal exclusionary spatial outcomes. It is therefore further argued that legal reasonings and formal processes must account for their spatial implications and reimagine justice that is attuned to the lived geographies of the people.</p>
