Regarding payment for compensation for sandalwood trees
Hello sir , recently our land was acquired for national highway road widening and fair compensation was paid for land but we couldn’t get the fair compensation for sandalwood plants. Actually sandalwood plant would be ready to be cut after 15-20 years. Since they are cutting now, the plants are aged about 5-6 years . And they are telling that they would pay just 70 rupees per kg for only the wood and I don’t think it would be useful or profitable as we can’t even get the expenses incurred on it. Please suggest how we can proceed with it. Thanking you Nivaan P

Sir collect the amount of compensation under protest and go before the appellant authority to challange same if he fails to.determine court value you can move to.cpurt and can ask fair price of plants attached to.your land.
as per new land acquisition Act , in u rban areas, compensation is twice the market value of the property, plus 100% solatium on this amount
2) Market value' is determined based on sales and purchases made at sub-registrar offices
3) Section 30 of the Act of 2013 makes a provision for awarding solatium @ 100% of the total compensation which is required to be paid
4)if you are dissatisfied with award of compensation
under section 64 of new land acqusition act you can make written application to collector requesting that matter be referred to authority as you are not satisfied with the compensation awarded
5) the collector has to make reference within period of 30 days to authority
6) if collector faisl to dos you can apply to authority requesting it to direct collector to make refernce
7)please note that you should apply to colelctor within period of 6 weeks of receipt of award from collector
You can prefer an appeal against the decision of this meagre compensation or file a writ petition before high court seeking relief and remedy.
Dear Sir,
You must raise the objection in the Civil Court or High Court. Definitely Court will consider and allow additional compensation.
Hello,
file an application for enhanced compensation before appropriate authority, if no action is taken by them then file a writ in the High Court.

Dear client,
At least through court, You can recover expanses incurred on growing plants and profit lost.
Dear Sir,
Cutting of Sandalwood trees is prohibited thus you can get a stay order and seek permission to denotify that particular portion of land and protect them for the next 15 to 20 years. For this purpose you have to approach several officers.
File a writ petition in High court.
Please send legal notice without any further delay and claim the damages from authorities.
hello
the RFCTLARR ACT, 2013 specifically states that in case of any grievances the person can approach the Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation, and Resettlement (LARR) Authority. and he would hear the grievance. therefore act accordingly.
