Bare Act

The Bihar Special Survey and Settlement (Amendment) Act, 2012

This law amends a 2011 state act that governs land survey and settlement procedures in Bihar. It serves as a direct clarification and amendment to the original legislation, modifying definitions and replacing specific official titles with "Settlement Officer" instead of "Collector" in several sections. The amendments streamline administrative roles within land registration systems. By this it ensures better coordination between officers handling property records, ultimately affecting landowners, tenants, and government officials responsible for maintaining property records and dispute resolution across the state.
