Land Ceiling Legislations in Tamilnadu

Abstract

Land ceiling legislation, as part of the land reform legislation, aims at fixation of ceiling on land holding and distribution of the surplus land to the landless persons of the society. Land ceiling legislation were enacted in pursuance to the Directive Principles of the Constitution of India. Unless the provisions of each of the legislations in this regard for analysed in detail, the idea of land ceiling legislations in Tamilnadu would remain shallow.
