The Prevention of Fragmentation and Consolidated of Holdings (Gujarat Amendment) Act, 1978

This law amends the existing rules for land ownership in Gujarat to prevent land from being split into small, unmanageable pieces. It changes who has the authority to approve land transfers, giving the local Collector more power. The amendment specifically allows for the transfer of entire holdings or subdivisions made for inheritance purposes without creating fragments, and it validates certain past transfers that were previously considered invalid. This ensures that land remains consolidated for better agricultural use while protecting the rights of people who already owned or occupied the land before the law changed.
