Bare Act

The Tamil Nadu Urban Land (Ceiling and Regulation) Repeal Act, 1999

This Act formally abolishes the Tamil Nadu Urban Land (Ceiling and Regulation) Act of 1978, which previously governed land ownership limits in urban areas. It applies to the state of Tamil Nadu and effectively ends the regulatory framework that previously restricted the amount of urban land individuals could own. The repeal is not absolute, as it preserves the validity of land already vested in the state government and protects existing exemptions. Furthermore, it halts ongoing legal cases related to the old law, except those concerning land already seized by the state, ensuring that previous government actions remain legally binding.
