Bare Act
The Bihar Land Disputes Resolution (Amendment) Act, 2012
The Bihar Land Disputes Resolution (Amendment) Act, 2012, regulates how land dispute decisions are enforced in Bihar, India. This law applies to landowners, allotted land beneficiaries, and unauthorized occupants. It matters significantly because it gives local authorities the legal power to actively execute resolving orders rather than leaving them ignored. Specifically, the act now enables officials to deploy police force to restore property ownership, request criminal court protection to prevent illegal evictions, update local land registry records, resolve boundary conflicts, and demolish unauthorized structures at the builder's expense, ensuring that their legal property rights are effectively enforced on the ground.
