The Land Acquisition (Madhya Pradesh Amendment) Act, 1959

Civil19594 sections

This Act amends the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 specifically for the state of Madhya Pradesh, focusing on the Bhopal region. Its primary purpose is to update the statutory definition of "Bhopal area," which the Act clarifies includes the municipal limits of Bhopal town and the land extending up to ten miles beyond these limits. This clarifying provision ensures that the broad collective rights of land acquisition under the older Act are applied with geographical precision in this specific urban belt, preventing ambiguity over where regulatory authority effectively begins for capital projects in Bhopal.
