The Chhattisgarh Public Premises (Eviction) Act, 1974
The Chhattisgarh Public Premises (Eviction) Act, 1974
This Act governs the eviction of people from premises used by the government of Madhya Pradesh or government-affiliated bodies. It applies to any buildings, land, or facilities belonging to the state government, including those leased from private companies or corporations in which at least 51 percent is owned by the state. The law allows the state government to appoint officials to handle such matters. When someone occupies public premises without proper authorization or after their lease has ended, authorities issue notice demanding they show cause why eviction should not proceed. This legal framework helps ensure public property buildings and spaces remain available for government use rather than being occupied improperly or indefinitely.
