The Haryana Dholidar, Butimar, Bhondedar and Muqararidar (Vesting of Proprietary Right) Act, 2011

General201013 sections

This law grants full land ownership to specific classes of titleholders in Haryana, such as Dholidar, Butimar, Bhondedar, and Muqararidar who have occupied land legally for at least twenty years. It transfers all property rights from landlords to these long-term occupants, ending the landlords' ability to collect rent. The measure recognizes their longstanding presence by vesting clear ownership in them, allowing them to hold land free of previous legal encumbrances and shifting their legal status from feudal sharecroppers to freeholders.
