Civil198824 sections
This Act allows the government to remove people who occupy public buildings or land without permission. It covers any property owned by the state, government corporations, universities, or local committees. The process involves the government appointing an officer to issue a notice, asking the occupant to prove they have the right to stay. If they cannot provide valid proof, the officer can order their eviction. This law ensures that public property is used for official purposes and prevents unauthorized use of state resources.
