The Haryana Requisitioning and Acquisition of Movable Property Act, 1975
This Act empowers the Haryana Government to temporarily take possession (requisition) or permanently acquire movable property for public purposes. These purposes include maintaining essential services, providing relief during emergencies like floods, riots, or strikes, and facilitating the efficient conduct of elections. The Act applies to movable assets within Haryana, explicitly excluding property used for religious worship and aircraft. It establishes a framework for determining fair compensation based on the property's cost, depreciation, and loss of use. The legislation balances the state's need for resources during crises with the property owner's right to receive payment and appeal administrative decisions.
