National Highways are the backbone of road transportation in India and the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is the largest Land Acquisition agency in the country. On an average, it acquires around 10,000 hectares land a year and disburses Rs. 10,000 crores as compensation. The National Highways Act, 1956 is a complete code and a Special Act. This is the first and the most comprehensive work on Land Acquisition and The National Highways Act. With 400+ pages the commentary covers the void in the area with 300+ reported and unreported judgments on the subject by the HC and the SC. Useful for practicing advocates, judges, students and academicians interested in this field.
