The Goalpara Tenancy (Emergency Provisions) Act, 1962

Civil19623 sections

The Goalpara Tenancy (Emergency Provisions) Act, 1962, regulates the legal deadlines for filing tenancy-related lawsuits in the Goalpara region of Assam. It applies to tenants and landlords who needed to file suits under the Goalpara Tenancy Act of 1929 but missed their original legal deadlines. This emergency law matters because it provided a temporary, four-month window allowing individuals to file these expired tenancy claims, ensuring their cases were legally recognized as timely. It also guaranteed that any legal proceedings or rights established during this brief extension remained valid even after the Act itself expired.
