Where any land or any interest in any land within any designated area is required by the Authority for the implementation of any of the projects and the Minister by
Order published in the Gazette approves of the proposed acquisition, that land or interest in any land may accordingly be acquired under the Land Acquisition Act (Chapter 460)
and be transferred to the Authority, as if such land or interest in land is required for a public purpose :
Provided however, where any land or any interest in any land of an estate situated within the designated area is required by the Authority the Minister shall consult the Minister in charge of the subject of Plantation Infrastructure, before publishing an Order, under this section for the acquisition of such land or interest in such land.
In any case where any land or any interest in any land within any designated area is to be acquired under the Land
Acquisition Act for any purpose of the Authority and public notice of the intention to acquire that land or interest is published as required by the aforesaid Act at any time within period of three years commencing from the date of publication of the Order under subsection (1), the following provisions shall apply for the purpose of determining the amount of compensation to be paid in respect of that land or interest, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in that
Act—
the market value of the land shall be deemed to be the market value the land would have had on the date of publication of such Order, if it then were in the same condition as it is in the time of acquisition, increased by a reasonable amount on account of bona fide improvements if any, effected to such land after such date ;
in ascertaining the market value of the land at the date of publication of such Order, no account shall be taken of any benefit or increase in value which may have accrued, or any expectation of benefit or increase in value likely to accrue directly or indirectly, from any development work or other operation of the Authority in pursuance of the provisions of this Act.
Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (2), where any person suffers loss or damage to his permanent residence or livelihood, due to the acquisition of any land or any interest in any land situated within the designated area, such person shall, in addition to the compensation paid to such person under subsection (2) be compensated in accordance with the National Involuntary Resettlement Policy of the Government.
