The Tamil Nadu Inam Abolition Laws (Validation of Proceedings) Act, 1986

Civil19863 sections

This Act legalizes and validates all decisions, orders, and judicial actions taken by the Fifth Additional Sub-Judge of Tiruchirappalli between December 14, 1976, and February 16, 1977, under state laws abolishing historical inam land grants. Although the judge acted as a land tribunal without formal administrative authorization during this brief period, this legislation retrospectively grants proper legal authority to those actions as if the judge had been duly appointed. It protects affected landholders and litigants by ensuring that past land conversion rulings remain valid, while also adjusting legal deadlines to allow parties sufficient time to file appeals or enforce orders issued during that period.
