The Bombay Tenancy and Agricultural Lands (Gujarat Amendment) Act, 1965

Civil196016 sections

This Act amends the Bombay Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Act to modify agricultural definitions and tenant rights in Gujarat. It expands the definition of agriculture to include grass cutting for specific lands and adjusts rent calculations for land exempt from revenue, capping payments at one-sixth of produce. It clarifies succession rights and allows tenants in municipal areas to purchase their land free of encumbrances, effectively granting ownership rights. The legislation aims to protect tenant farmers by regulating land revenue, rent, and providing a pathway to land ownership for agricultural workers in urban and semi-urban areas.
