The Nagaland Land (Requisition & Acquisation) Act, 1965

The Nagaland Land (Requisition and Acquisition) Act, 1965, regulates how the state government temporarily takes over or permanently acquires private land and buildings for public welfare, such as infrastructure development, flood control, and rehabilitating displaced people. Applying to landowners, tenants, and state authorities across Nagaland, it balances state development needs with private property rights. It matters because it establishes legal procedures for public acquisition, gives property owners the right to object, and guarantees financial compensation based on market value plus an additional fifteen percent premium for compulsory acquisition, with unresolved disputes referred to civil courts for resolution.
