Bare Act

The Jammu and Kashmir Tenancy (Stay of Ejectment Proceedings) Act, 1966

This Act, passed in 1966, temporarily halts ongoing court processes to evict tenants when they are seeking damages under section 49 of the Jammu and Kashmir Tenancy Act, 1980. It applies to all ejectment applications and related proceedings that were already pending when the Act began to operate. The government chose to put these eviction cases on hold until authorities decide when they should resume through a formal public announcement in the official gazette. This allows the affected tenants a reprieve from being forced out during the wait period while ensuring that legal rights are preserved without immediate consequences.
