This Act amends the Saurashtra Gharkhed, Tenancy Settlement and Agricultural Lands Ordinance to regulate agricultural land transactions in Gujarat. It restricts the sale of land to non-agriculturists if their income exceeds five thousand rupees. The legislation also empowers the Collector to declare invalid any unauthorized land transfers and order the return of the land to its original state. Furthermore, it introduces strict penalties, including a fine of three times the land's value, for those involved in invalid land transfers. These changes aim to protect agricultural land from being misused and ensure proper settlement of tenancy rights.
