Bare Act

The Pattazhi Devaswom Lands (Vesting and Enfranchisement) Amendment Act, 1966

This Act amends the Pattazhi Devaswom Lands (Vesting and Enfranchisement) Act of 1961 to clarify property rights and financial terms for temple tenants. It defines specific terms like "holding" and "tharissu" to distinguish between land owned by the Temple and land held by tenants. The law also removes interest charges on payments if tenants pay the full amount within thirty days of receiving a settlement order. Finally, it explicitly states that land registered as "tharissu" held by tenants before the law started will not be taken over by the government, protecting their tenancy rights.
