Bare Act

The Punjab Consolidation of Land Proceedings (Validation) Act, 1957

This Act validates land consolidation schemes carried out in the former state of Punjab between December 1951 and January 1956. It specifically deals with land owned by evacuees and confirms that redistribution proceedings, which partitioned holdings based on standard acres rather than precise value, are legally valid. Consequently, allottees who received reduced shares during this consolidation process receive ownership rights automatically without payment for the loss, making the scheme permanent across the relevant territories.
