The Land Acquisition Act is a law that allows the government to acquire private land for public purposes, such as building roads, schools, or hospitals. It ensures that landowners are compensated fairly for their property, aiming to balance the needs of development with the rights of individuals. This act outlines the process for acquiring land, including notifying landowners and assessing the value of the land. It also provides a framework for resolving disputes that may arise during the acquisition process, ensuring transparency and fairness in the dealings between the government and landowners.
