The West Khandesh Mehwassi Estates (Proprietary Rights Abolition, etc.) Regulation, 1961
Civil196122 sections
This regulation applies to land in the Mehwassi estates of Dhulia district in Maharashtra. It deals with the abolition of proprietary rights and the rights of tenants. It defines who counts as a permanent tenant versus an inferior holder. The law requires the local official to prepare a list of permanent tenants for the official land records. If there is a dispute about who is a tenant, the official decides it. This ensures that the rights of long-term tenants are recognized and protected in the land records, providing security of tenure and clarifying ownership for the state administration.
