Civil189520 sections
This law requires the registration of land owners, known as proprietors, who pay revenue directly to the government. It applies specifically to certain areas in the Nilgiri district, including the South-East Wynaad and Gudalur taluk. The main goal is to ensure the government can accurately identify these landowners to secure public revenue and prevent disputes over property ownership. By allowing proprietors to apply for their names to be recorded in official government registers, the Act provides a clear legal record of who owns the land, which is essential for maintaining order and protecting the state's financial interests in these regions.
