The Jharkhand Public Land Encroachment (Amendment) Act, 2016

This 2016 amendment modifies Section 6 of the Jharkhand Public Land Encroachment Act to address penalties for those encroaching on public land. Specifically, it removes a prior clause and replaces it with clearer rules, making non-compliance with orders punishable by up to one year in jail or a fine of twenty-five thousand rupees, or both. The law strengthens enforcement by standardizing consequences for illegal occupation of state property to ensure public land is protected.
