This 10th New Updated Edition of the Commentary on the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 is a comprehensive and authoritative legal work presented in two detailed volumes. The book offers section-wise analysis of the Act, enriched with exhaustive Central and State amendments, making it uniquely relevant across jurisdictions in India. The commentary explains the entire process of compulsory acquisition of land—from preliminary notification and objections to award, reference, compensation determination, and appellate remedies. It incorporates leading Supreme Court and High Court judgments, illustrating the evolution of land acquisition jurisprudence, valuation principles, solatium, interest, and procedural safeguards. Special emphasis is laid on State-specific amendments, rules, and local variations, enabling practitioners to apply the law accurately in different States. The work is structured for practical use, with cross-references, judicial summaries, and interpretative clarity, making it invaluable for litigation and advisory work. This edition reflects the latest legal position and remains indispensable even in matters where the 1894 Act continues to apply due to pending proceedings and saving clauses. It is a must-have reference for anyone dealing with land acquisition, compensation disputes, and government acquisition of property.
