............................................................................................................................. Description The Land Acquisition Act has been amended from time to time and all the amendments along with State amendments have been incorporated in the book at appropriate places under proper sections and headings with important decisions of the Supreme Court of India and High Courts. The principles which Legislature have enacted for India are admittedly borrowed from the English law. References have, therefore, also been given with extracts, where necessary, to the corresponding provisions in the English Acts and up-to-date judicial authorities construing those principles. Principles of valuation of land as applied in determining the amount of compensation payable in land acquisition cases have been explained at some length and suitable illustrations have been cited to explain these principles. .............................................................................................................................
