The Karnataka Regularisation of Unauthorised Constructions in Urban Areas Act, 1991
General199111 sections
This Act provides a legal mechanism to regularize unauthorized constructions built in urban areas of Karnataka before January 1, 1995. It allows property owners to apply for regularization of buildings on state government land, revenue sites, or land proposed for acquisition, provided they meet specific conditions. The law excludes certain illegal structures, such as those blocking roads, located in forest areas, or built on land belonging to others without title. By establishing this process, the Act aims to bring these structures under the town planning laws, offering legal security to owners while ensuring that public infrastructure and environmental regulations are not violated.
