The Mizoram (Prevention of Government Land Encroachment) (Amendment) Act, 2012
The Mizoram (Prevention of Government Land Encroachment) (Amendment) Act, 2012
This law modifies Mizoram’s regulations to tighten controls over land ownership and prevent illegal occupation. It updates the official name to replace "Government Land" with "Public Land" to clarify which land is available for public use. The act prohibits anyone from taking up public land without government permission and imposes strict penalties for those who violate this rule. Offenders will face eviction, be required to pay rent for the time they occupied the land, and likely forfeit any crops or structures they built there. New measures also introduce strict punishments for individuals or groups who help facilitate illegal encroachment, ensuring the authority can enforce these rules effectively.
