The Haryana Development and Regulation of Urban Areas (Second Amendment and Validation) Act, 2020

General20204 sections

The Haryana Development and Regulation of Urban Areas (Second Amendment and Validation) Act, 2020 modifies the principal urban development law of Haryana to give explicit legal power to the State Government and the Director of Town and Country Planning to modify, suspend, withdraw, or cancel (de-licence) real estate development licences. This statutory power is backdated to January 30, 1975, legally validating all past cancellation and modification orders regardless of previous court judgments. It also expands regulations on land transfers by applying restrictions to the sale, lease, or gift of vacant land up to one acre, defining vacant land to include illegal or uninhabitable structures. This law directly impacts real estate developers, plot buyers, and landowners across Haryana by preventing illegal sub-divisions and unauthorized urban colonisation.
