Bare Act

The Uttarakhand Prevention of Defacement of Public property Act, 2003

This Act regulates the defacement of public property in the state of Uttarakhand by prohibiting writing, painting, or pasting posters on buildings, trees, and other public structures. It applies to any individual or entity responsible for such acts, imposing penalties of up to one year in prison or fines up to ten thousand rupees. The law matters because it preserves the aesthetic and physical integrity of public spaces, empowers district officials to remove illegal markings, and overrides other laws to ensure these protections are strictly enforced.
