This Chhattisgarh law grants ownership rights to landless people who have been living in homesteads on agricultural land for at least a year before May 2003. It applies specifically to non-urban areas in the state. The legislation aims to protect these occupants by vesting ownership in them and ensuring that if they are illegally evicted, the government will help them regain possession and receive compensation. The process allows for appeals to higher authorities if the initial decision is disputed, ensuring that the rights of the landless are legally recognized and defended against unlawful dispossession.
