The Chota Nagpur Tenure-Holder s Rent Account Act, 1929

General192917 sections

The Chota Nagpur Tenure Holders' Rent Account Act, 1929 protects individual joint landholders in the Chota Nagpur region from losing their property due to rent defaults by their co-sharers. It allows a registered co-owner of a permanent land tenure to apply to the Deputy Commissioner to establish a separate rent account proportionate to their share. Once this separate account is set up and the co-owner pays their share of rent, landlords cannot sell off that specific share to recover unpaid rent owed by other joint owners. This law prevents unfair land forfeiture, protecting diligent co-sharers from the financial negligence of others.
