The Andhra Pradesh Land Reforms (Ceiling on Agricultural Holdings) (Amendment) Act, 2009

The Andhra Pradesh Land Reforms (Ceiling on Agricultural Holdings) (Amendment) Act, 2009 amends the 1973 principal law to update rules governing the management and allocation of surplus agricultural land in Andhra Pradesh. It specifically modifies Section 14 of the original legislation, which dictates how land acquired beyond legal ceiling limits is surrendered to and redistributed by the state government. Applying to agricultural landowners and state revenue authorities, this law formally replaces a prior temporary ordinance. It matters because it establishes clear, updated guidelines for reallocating excess land to landless citizens and public welfare projects.
