The Kerala Stay of Eviction Proceedings Act, 1999
Civil19994 sections
This law temporarily stops the eviction of cultivating tenants and small holders in Kerala who hold excess land identified under the Land Reforms Act. It applies specifically to these individuals and ensures that no one can be forced off their land or dispossessed of it during the two-year period this Act is in effect. The legislation also invalidates any eviction actions taken under a previous law after that law expired but before this one was published. Its main purpose is to provide a short-term legal shield to protect these landholders from losing their property during a specific transitional period.
