The main distinction between the Forty-fourth Amendment Act and previous amendments regarding land acquisition laws is that it made some changes to the protection of personal cultivation lands. It added a provision stating that no portion of such land within the ceiling limit applicable under any law for the time being in force can be acquired by the state unless the law relating to the acquisition provides for payment of compensation at a rate which shall not be less than the market value thereof.
