This Act is meant to redistribute land and abolish the Zamindari system that had plagued India for a quite a while. Specifically, if a landlord has not visited his property in 7 years, then the tiller could petition the district magistrate for this property. This was only one of the many laws that were enacted to abolish the Zamindari system. Another was limiting land ownership to 100 acres. -Tariq __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
