The Gujarat Surviving Alienations Abolition Act, 1963

General196320 sections

This Act regulates the survival of specific types of land grants—such as Aghat and Jiwai gifts—made in Gujarat before 1963. It applies to holders of this land or those who inherited rights tied to these grants. By abolishing these alienations, the law vests all the associated land and rights in the State Government. This is important because it cancels out older historical dealings to bring revenue collection under a single, clear system where land is assessed and owned by the state instead of various private or historic grantees.
