The Andhra Pradesh Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) Act, 1977

General197714 sections

The Andhra Pradesh Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) Act, 1977 restricts the sale, lease, mortgage, or transfer of lands granted by the government to landless poor citizens in Andhra Pradesh. Designed to protect vulnerable families from losing their socio-economic security, the law declares any unauthorized transfer of these assigned lands completely void. Government authorities have the power to repossess illegally transferred land, punish offenders, and either restore the property to the original poor assignees or use it for public benefit. This legislation safeguards welfare land distributions against commercial exploitation and preserves intended benefits for underprivileged communities.
