AMEKDMENT) ACT, 1974

The Bombay Land Requisition (Gujarat Amendment) Act, 1974

This Act amends the Bombay Land Requisition Act, 1948, which allows the Gujarat state government to requisition private land for public purposes. It extends the maximum duration land can be held from five years to seven years, giving authorities more time to use the land. The law also mandates a review and increase in compensation for land that has been under requisition for more than five years, ensuring owners are paid fairly for the long-term use of their property. These changes help the government manage land acquisition while protecting landowners' rights to fair payment and timely release.
