The Himachal Pradesh Requisition of Immovable Property Act, 1987

General198728 sections

This law empowers the Himachal Pradesh government to take over private land and buildings for public purposes. It allows a designated authority to requisition property after giving owners a chance to object, while preventing them from selling or altering the property during the process. The legislation includes important protections, ensuring that private residences, religious places, schools, hospitals, and orphanages are generally exempt from requisition. Additionally, it mandates that tenants be provided with alternative housing if their premises are taken, balancing state needs with individual rights.
