General194912 sections

This Act empowers the Madhya Pradesh government to requisition house building materials for constructing homes for individuals displaced by the partition of India and Pakistan in 1947. It specifically targets persons who migrated to India after this period due to political division or civil disturbances. The state government can directly purchase materials from dealers or private owners by issuing permits, with compensation paid based on either market value or cost plus reasonable profit. This legislation facilitates efficient resource allocation to help rebuild lives and communities that lost their homes during the partition, ensuring fair treatment of those affected by this historic upheaval.
