The Land Acquisition (Gujarat Amendment) Act, 1980

The Land Acquisition (Gujarat Amendment) Act, 1980

This law amends the Land Acquisition Act of 1894 specifically for the state of Gujarat. It changes how the value of land is calculated when the government takes it over. The new rule states that if the government or local authorities improve the land with facilities like water, sewage, or drainage in slum areas, that added value must be included in the compensation paid to the landowner. This ensures that people are fairly compensated for the specific improvements made to their property by public authorities before the land is acquired.
