Andhra Pradesh Government Lands and Buildings (Termination of Leases) Act, 1986
The Andhra Pradesh Government Lands and Buildings (Termination of Leases) Act, 1986 empowers the state government to prematurely terminate leases and reclaim public lands or buildings leased to individuals or companies. It regulates the eviction process, granting authorities the power to forcibly remove non-compliant occupants while overriding general property and contract laws. The law prohibits civil courts from staying these proceedings and imposes penalties or imprisonment for disobeying eviction orders. Crucially, it safeguards tenants by granting them financial compensation, called solatium, for early termination, ensuring a streamlined process for public land recovery alongside fair relief.
