Uttar Pradesh Revenue Code - A Commentary

Uttar Pradesh Revenue Code: A Commentary 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Uttar Pradesh Revenue Code, 2006 has repealed the Uttar Pradesh Zamindari Abolition and Land Reforms Act, 1950; the Uttar Pradesh Land Revenue Act, 1901 along with 37 other enactments which had become obsolete and were too complicated to adhere to or comply with in their entirety. 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 this new second edition:

• Sections of the Code and the corresponding Rules have been discussed together.
• Comparative Table in the book is a handy reference to compare the old andcorresponding new provisions.
• Contains section wise content for easy reference
• Updated with U.P. Revenue Code (Amendment) Act, 2021; U.P. Revenue Code (Amendment) Act, 2020; U.P. Revenue Code (Amendment) Act, 2019; U.P. Revenue Code (First Amendment) Rules, 2016 and U.P. Revenue Code (Second Amendment) Rules, 2016.
• Appendices in the book contain 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 students of LL.B., aspirants of U.P. Judicial Services, revenue officers, administrators and anyone interested in knowing about Uttar Pradesh Land Laws. The book undoubtedly stands as a valuable addition to any library's collection.
