Bare Act

Uttarakhand Special Provision for Urban Bodies and Authorities Act, 2018

This law applies to all urban local bodies in Uttarakhand to manage unauthorized construction and encroachment, including slums. It suspends punitive actions like demolition for nine years, giving the state government a three-year window to address these issues and maintain the status quo as of March 2016. However, the law does not provide relief for new unauthorized construction started after that date or encroachment on public roads and pavements. The state government can issue directions to urban bodies, and officials acting in good faith are protected from legal action.
