The Telangana Requisitioning of Buildings Act, 1954
General195422 sections
This legislation empowers the Telangana State Government to take over any residential or business buildings for public purposes, such as providing housing for government offices and officers. It primarily targets property owners and landlords who have vacant buildings or own multiple properties in the state. The law mandates that when a building is requisitioned, the owner must be compensated. However, the act tries to protect landlords by allowing them to retain at least one building for their own residence or business if they own several properties in the area.
