The Goa (Allotment of Plots to Certain Displaced Persons) Act, 2016

General201610 sections

This Act formalizes the transfer of land ownership to specific individuals who were displaced in 1964 to establish a military training facility (2STC) in Salcete, Goa. For decades, these individuals occupied the land, but the legal title remained unresolved. This legislation retroactively vests the land in the Government and simultaneously grants proprietary rights to the displaced persons listed in the Act's schedules. It effectively settles long-standing land disputes by barring further litigation regarding these specific plots, ensuring that the families who were displaced and subsequently rehabilitated finally hold clear, legal ownership of their homes and plots.
