Bare Act
The PEPSU Tenancy and Agricultural Lands (Haryana Amendment) Act, 2017
The PEPSU Tenancy and Agricultural Lands (Haryana Amendment) Act, 2017, modifies the existing 1955 legislation to modernize agricultural land leasing in Haryana. Its primary objective is to introduce a clear legal framework for fixed-term, registered tenancy agreements, allowing landowners and tenants to enter into time-bound contracts that expire automatically without triggering long-term security protections. The Act also explicitly prohibits corporate entities from acquiring ownership rights over leased agricultural land, ensuring such land remains with cultivators. Furthermore, it promotes gender equality by removing gender-specific language from the principal Act, ensuring that tenancy rights and succession laws apply equally to all individuals regardless of gender.
