The Haryana General Land Security and Rent Recovery Act, 1985

The Haryana General Land Security and Rent Recovery Act, 1985 extends state laws governing public premises to village common lands across Haryana. It classifies all village land reserved for common community purposes under consolidation laws as public premises. This legislation empowers state authorities and Gram Panchayats to initiate summary eviction proceedings against unauthorized occupants and illegal encroachers on village common lands. It also establishes mechanisms to recover unpaid rent, damages, and arrears from unauthorized possessors as arrears of land revenue. For ordinary rural residents and farmers, the law safeguards public community pastures, paths, and village infrastructure from private encroachment while providing a legal framework for fair rent collection and speedy eviction.
