Bare Act
The Goa Marine Fishing Regulation (Relaxation of Time Limit for Registration of Vessels) Act, 2002
General197026 sections
This Act abolishes the ownership rights of proprietors over lands in the Diu district and transfers that title to the government for redistribution. It targets lands granted under the Portuguese regime while protecting the rights of those who personally cultivate the land, including agricultural laborers and cultivating tenants. By extinguishing historical proprietary claims and vesting ownership in actual cultivators, the law ensures that land serves productive agricultural purposes rather than remaining under absentee ownership, thereby promoting social equity and agricultural development in the region.
