Environmental19726 sections
This Act regulates the acquisition of private forest land by the Gujarat government. It applies to landowners who own forests within the state. The law is important because it provides a legal framework for compensation, ensuring owners are paid fairly based on the size of the land and the value of the trees, such as teak and other varieties. The compensation rates are calculated using specific formulas that consider the area of the land and the girth of the trees, guaranteeing that owners receive a fair market value for their property when the government takes it over.
