The Law facilitates the acquisition of land and other immovable property for public purposes. The governor may authorize a public utility undertaking, after which a recommendation to acquire land will be made to the Governor, based on a preliminary investigation. After the sanctioning of the acquisition, the land shall vest absolutely in the Government. If no agreement has been reached on the compensation within three months after notification of such sanction, the Acquiring Authority shall apply to the Compensation Assessment Tribunal.
