The West Bengal Land Laws (Repealing) Act, 2023
General20233 sections
This Act removes a series of old colonial-era land laws from West Bengal, including the Bengal Permanent Settlement Regulation of 1793 and various revenue and land grant regulations from the 1800s. It applies to anyone dealing with land revenue, tenures, or property rights in the state. By repealing these outdated statutes, the government aims to modernize the legal framework governing land, making it easier to administer property laws. However, the law ensures that any legal actions or processes already started under these repealed laws remain valid and continue to be processed as if the old laws were still in effect.
