Bare Act

The Bihar Land Disputes Resolution (Amendment) Act, 2013

This Act regulates the land dispute resolution appeal process in Bihar, India, applying to landowners and individuals affected by these rulings. It amends the state's 2009 land disputes law. This legislation matters because it adds fairness to public administration by allowing the Commissioner to accept late appeals when there are valid reasons for delay. Crucially, it also permits affected third parties who were not original participants in a case to appeal decisions that harm them. The appellate court must decide on granting this permission within twenty one working days, ensuring that justice is delivered in a timely manner for everyone.
