The Bihar Emergency Cultivation & Irrigation Act, 1955

This Act empowers the Collector in Bihar to lease out land that has been left unused for two years to individuals willing to cultivate food crops, ensuring the land is not wasted. It defines the rights of these emergency tenants, including how rent is calculated and the conditions under which they can be evicted, such as for non-payment or failure to cultivate. The legislation aims to maximize agricultural productivity by utilizing fallow land for food production while protecting the interests of the original landowners and the state government.
