Land Acquisition Act

The Land Acquisition Act is a law that allows governments to buy private land for public use, such as building roads, schools, or hospitals. Under this act, the government must provide fair compensation to landowners whose property is taken. The process includes notifying landowners, assessing land value, and ensuring there’s a transparent procedure. The act aims to balance public interests and individual rights, ensuring that land is acquired legally and fairly, with attention to the needs of those affected. It’s an essential tool for enabling infrastructure and development while safeguarding landowner rights.
