The Bihar Land Reforms (fixation of Ceiling Area and Acquisition of Surplus Land) (Amendment) Act, 2006

This law amends the existing Land Reforms Act in Bihar to change how appeals against land ceiling determinations are handled. Specifically, it modifies Section 16 to remove appeals to the judiciary and instead route them directly to the Divisional Commissioner. This new administrative process requires the Commissioner to hear the complainant and land owner directly and decide the case. The change ensures disputes over surplus land ceiling limits are settled through a faster, more direct administrative tribunal rather than through the courts.
