The Haryana Abadi Deh (Vesting, Recording and Resolving of Ownership Rights) Act, 2025

General202537 sections

This Act provides a legal framework to grant formal ownership rights to individuals occupying built-up structures—such as houses, shops, and residential units—within the *abadi deh* (inhabited village areas) of Haryana. By formalizing these records, the Act aims to resolve long-standing property disputes and empower rural residents with clear titles, enabling them to use their property for credit or legal transfer. It applies to areas outside municipal limits, excluding common village lands or government property. Essentially, it transforms informal possession into documented legal ownership, integrating existing survey data to create a permanent, reliable record of rights for rural citizens.
