Civil195416 sections

This Act authorizes the State Government to acquire specific land for resettling displaced landholders whose livelihoods have been harmed by administrative land takings. It applies throughout Madhya Pradesh and prioritizes securing a reasonable standard of living for those individuals by prescribing rules on how much land can be acquired versus retained. The legislation regulates the acquisition timeline, marking land and assessing compensation, while also allowing landholders to file objections against the taking of their property before ownership vests in the state.
