In a legal landscape where private land ownership intersects with the State’s authority to acquire land for public purposes, Land Acquisition Proceedings: Principles and Procedure in Malaysia offers a timely and comprehensive examination of this complex area of law. Dato’ R.K. Nandy masterfully unpacks the doctrine of dominium eminens—the State’s right to compulsory acquisition—against the protective framework provided under Article 13 of the Federal Constitution and the Land Acquisition Act 1960 (Act 486). With detailed reference to constitutional guarantees, statutory safeguards, and landmark decisions—including Tegas Sejati Sdn Bhd v Pentadbir Tanah dan Galian Hulu Langat & Anor and other recent Federal Court rulings—the author presents a structured and accessible narrative of the legal principles, procedures, and remedies involved in land acquisition proceedings. This book is meticulously organized in accordance with the format and structure of Act 486, including its most recent amendment via the Land Acquisition (Amendment) Act 2016 (Act A1517). It also delves into judicial review and other forms of legal redress available to landowners, offering critical insights into the mechanisms that uphold fairness and justice in compulsory land acquisition. Written with both depth and clarity, this work is an essential reference for judges, legal practitioners, law students, valuers, and professionals involved in property and land development. With a strong grounding in both statutory interpretation and practical application, this authoritative volume stands as a vital contribution to Malaysia’s legal scholarship.
