The Gujarat Public Premises (Eviction of Unathorised Occupants) Act, 1972

Civil197219 sections

It empowers the State Government to remove individuals occupying state-owned buildings or land without a valid permit. The law applies to government offices, leased properties, and premises held by local authorities, corporations, or universities. To act, the government appoints officers who must first issue a written notice to the occupant, explaining why they need to leave. If the occupier does not provide a valid reason, a final eviction order is enforced, ensuring that public resources are not misused or improperly held by private individuals.
