The Manipur Land Revenue and Land Reforms Act, 1960

The Manipur Land Revenue and Land Reforms Act, 1960, is the primary legislation governing land administration in the plains of Manipur. It establishes the framework for land revenue assessment, the maintenance of land records, and the regulation of land transfers. The Act defines the rights of landowners and tenants, sets a ceiling on land holdings to prevent wealth concentration, and prohibits the fragmentation of land into uneconomical sizes. It also provides specific protections for tenants against arbitrary eviction and includes critical safeguards for land owned by members of Scheduled Tribes. The Act does not apply to the hill areas of Manipur.
