#Land Regularization

The Karnataka High Court has mandated that state authorities dispose of regularization applications for unauthorized cultivation within three months, enforcing this deadline through writ of mandamus to prevent indefinite delays that jeopardize farmers' livelihoods. This ruling binds revenue and forest departments across Karnataka, ensuring timely relief to thousands of small landholders facing eviction threats.

Bombay High Court holds that land regularization cannot proceed without proof of ownership, directing NIT to explain sanction of map and file detailed affidavit.
