A recent legal counseling session in Jharkhand focused on helping people understand their rights related to land disputes, especially those concerning family property. Advocate Abhay Mishra, at an event organized by Prabhat Khabar, spoke about the Chotanagpur Tenancy Act of 1908, known as the CNT Act. He offered advice on how to manage disagreements over ancestral land, a common issue in the area.
Mishra explained that the CNT Act is the main law governing land ownership and transfer in Jharkhand. He detailed the rights and limitations connected to ancestral properties. Moreover, he provided clear advice on how to follow the legal processes needed to resolve any conflicts. He stressed that, “If there are family disputes related to ancestral property, the best way to resolve it is through partition under the law.” This process is a key legal solution for people facing land disagreements. He also spoke about ways to properly check land records and safeguard one’s own rights.
The counseling session also discussed specific situations involving CNT land and the issues that people often encounter. These sessions play an important role in giving needed guidance to citizens. This can help to solve disputes before they turn into larger legal problems. Because many families in Jharkhand rely on ancestral land, having a strong understanding of the CNT Act is vital for each individual.
Attendees appreciated the information and solutions Mishra provided during the session. They are now better equipped to try and resolve their ongoing conflicts. With clear understanding of legal processes, they can proceed with their land concerns and seek legal avenues to resolve land disputes. This counseling session offered much-needed support and information to those struggling with issues surrounding ancestral land.
