Protect acquisition of land by the highway authority

Hello all,

I have a land which is in Patna which is completely owned by me through nomination, which my ancestors has been using for farming.

Now the NHAI has planned to make a National highway which is passing through my land and government has started all its initial process to build the road. My questions is they started piling process on some part of my land so how can I stop them acquirng my land or what else I can do on this matter???

I dont want to loose this land under any circumstances. However government has issued a notice in paper that they are going to acquirer some plots of my village.

1. Under the Land Acquisition Act, the Central / State Govt., has all the rights, by default, to acquire any land for the use of "Public Purposes" and building an National Highway is classified as "Public Purpose".

2. However, such land acquisation, is subject to giving fair notice and fair price and/or alternate & appropriate land in lieu of the land being acquired.
