This book makes an attempt to introduce the concept of land acquisition and assessment of fair compensation in a crisp and clear manner. The principles of valuation of compensation provide the correct amount of compensation payable with the help of many landmark land acquisition cases and illustrations as well. All the new material including the Supreme Court cases which are relevant to the new Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 after repeal of the old Land Acquisition Act, 1894 makes this book a must read for those dealing with the law. The book also has a collation of the relevant provisions of Statutes governing different states for land acquisition along with all the proforma forms and the bare act as well which can immensely help legal practitioners.
