Commentary on Uttar Pradesh Revenue Code

Commentary on Uttar Pradesh Revenue Code by Prof. Ram Naresh Chaudhary and Sunil Kumar Chaudhary is an authoritative book on Uttar Pradesh Revenue Code, 2006 and Uttar Pradesh Revenue Code Rules, 2016.

Uttar Pradesh Revenue Code, 2006 has repealed the Uttar Pradesh Zamindari Abolition and Land Reforms Act, 1950; Uttar Pradesh Land Revenue Act, 1901 along with 37 other enactments which had become obsolete and were too complicated to adhere to or comply as a whole. The new Revenue Code provides a fine balance between the conservation of natural heritages and the demand of land for developmental activities. It also protects the interest of weaker sections of society. The Code harmonises with the use of modern techniques for demarca­tion and digitalisation of Revenue Records and procedure of the Revenue Courts.

The following are the salient features of the book:

1. Sections of the Code and the corresponding Rules have been discussed together.

2. Comparative Table in the book is a handy reference to compare the old and the corresponding new provisions.

3. Contains section wise contents for easy reference.

4. Contains U.P. Revenue Code (First Amendment) Rules, 2016 and U.P. Revenue Code (Second Amendment) Rules, 2016.

5. Appendices in the book contains the schedules and forms under the U.P. Revenue Code, 2006 and U.P. Revenue Code Rules, 2016.

The book will be immensely useful to the students of LLB, revenue officers, administrators and anyone interested in knowing about Uttar Pradesh Land Laws. The book is definitely a prized collection for any library.
