Section 70 of LARR Act, 2013 : Section 70: Form Of Award

Explanation using Example

Imagine a government project that requires the acquisition of land owned by Mr. Sharma. The Land Acquisition Authority, after following due process, determines the compensation for Mr. Sharma's land based on the market value and other factors as outlined in section 28 of the Act. The Authority issues a written award, signed by its Presiding Officer, detailing the compensation amount for the land and any additional compensation for damages, if applicable, along with the reasons for each amount awarded.

Mr. Sharma receives this award, which serves as a legal decree, meaning he can enforce it like a court judgment. If Mr. Sharma is not satisfied with the compensation or the process, he can challenge this 'decree' in a higher court, just as he would with any other legal judgment.
