The Gujarat Tenancy Law (Defence Personnel) (Amendment) Act, 1965

Civil196523 sections2 chapters

This Act amends a major property law to create specific protections and procedures for landlords who are active, retired, or former members of the Indian Armed Forces. It modifies the rules for ending leases by requiring a government official to conduct an inquiry before a service member can take back possession of their land. The legislation also updates how tenants buy land from these military owners and extends certain protections to the families of deceased service personnel. The law aims to balance defense personnel's right to manage their land with the housing needs and security of their tenant farmers.
