The Bombay Merged Territories (Ankadia Tenure Abolition) (Gujarat Amendment) Act, 1961

General19614 sections

This Act amends the Bombay Merged Territories (Ankadia Tenure Abolition) Act, 1953 to clarify land rights in the region. It specifically addresses situations where Jiwai land is held by someone other than the Jiwaidar who possesses rights similar to an occupant under the Baroda Land Revenue Code. The law makes this person primarily liable for land revenue and extinguishes the Jiwaidar's rights. It also establishes a process for a Collector to decide disputes and allows appeals to the State Government, ensuring clear revenue collection and legal clarity for landholders.
