Explain the concept of 'Compulsory acquisition of property'.
The concept of 'Compulsory acquisition of property' refers to the process by which a government or its authorized agency forcibly acquires private property from an individual or entity without their consent. This can be done in order to utilize the land or property for public purposes such as infrastructure development, urban planning, or other projects deemed beneficial for the community at large. The term 'compulsory acquisition' is often used interchangeably with 'eminent domain', which refers to the same concept but is a legal term more commonly used in the United States and some Commonwealth countries.
