Bare Act

The Madhya Pradesh Regulation of Uses of Land Act, 1948

This Act empowers the government to regulate land development within a specific distance—typically 440 yards—from the center line of roads in Madhya Pradesh. By declaring these areas "controlled," the government restricts unauthorized construction, excavations, and new road access points to ensure orderly development and public safety. Landowners wishing to build or alter structures in these zones must obtain written permission from the Sub-Divisional Officer. The Act balances public planning needs with private property rights by providing mechanisms for compensation if development is unfairly restricted, while also exempting agricultural activities and existing village sites from these strict regulations.
