Civil19868 sections

The Andhra Pradesh Public Premises Eviction of Un-Authorised Occupants (Amendment) Act, 1986 amends state law to streamline procedures for evicting illegal occupants from government-owned properties. Applying to all public land and buildings in Andhra Pradesh, it empowers appointed Estate Officers to initiate evictions, auction abandoned belongings to recover unpaid rent, and enforce penalties against unauthorized squatters. Additionally, the law protects officials acting in good faith and restricts civil courts from overriding administrative eviction actions. This Act matters because it strengthens the state's power to efficiently reclaim public land, prevent unauthorized encroachments, and recover government dues.
