Bare Act
The Gujarat Regularisation of Unauthorised Development Act, 2001
General20018 sections
This legislation enables the Gujarat government to legalise buildings and land uses that were constructed or altered without the necessary planning permissions. It applies to individuals or developers who have failed to obtain development permissions mandated by the Gujarat Town Planning and Urban Development Act. By sanctioning these unauthorised structures, the Act aims to bring them under official municipal control, resolving legal ambiguities for occupants and improving urban land records. However, the government can only regularise plots that do not fall within ecologically fragile zones or cause public nuisance, ensuring urban growth aligns with safety and environmental standards.
