Punjab Land Reforms Act, 1972

The Punjab Land Reforms Act, 1972, aims to redistribute land to promote equitable ownership and reduce feudal concentration. It sets limits on land holdings for landlords, redistributes excess land to landless or small farmers, and secures tenancy rights for sharecroppers. The act seeks to promote social justice by ensuring fair land distribution, prevent land hoarding, and improve agricultural productivity while fostering a more balanced rural economy.
