The Haryana Dholidar, Butimar, Bhondedar and Muqararidar (Vesting of Proprietary Rights) Act, 2010
This Act is a land reform measure in Haryana designed to grant ownership rights to specific classes of land occupiers—Dholidars, Butimars, Bhondedars, and Muqararidars—who have historically held land in exchange for services. By extinguishing the rights of the original landowners, the Act transfers proprietary title to these occupiers, provided they have been recorded in revenue records for at least twenty years. It establishes a structured process for the occupiers to pay a fixed compensation of five hundred rupees per acre to the former landowners, ensuring a fair transition of land title while resolving long-standing tenure disputes.
