It is important to enter into leases for more than one year. It is not necessary to provide one year or less of leases in writing. (iii) the amount calculated or to be calculated as taxes under the Bengal Agricultural Income Tax Act 1944 by that leaseholder or raiyat cultivation in respect of income from such land; And over time, when the power of the grampradhanas (village chiefs) was severely reduced, many of them were converted into local talukdars. These talukdars collected income from herders at the rate set by the government and paid it to the upper landowners, also known as zamindars, although they received part of the collection as compensation. The government could lease Khas` land to other people on fixed incomes. The tenants of this land could cultivate it themselves or have it cultivated by bargadars (sharecroppers) who had no right to the land, except to obtain half of the produce. State scholarship holders such as the Jagirdars and Aymadars could also lease their land to others on the basis of a lease, but they could not interfere with the ownership of farmers whose land was included in their respective grants, except to obtain the lease from them. The Khatiyan (Chittagong Hill Tracts) Ordinance 1984 provided for the first time for the surveying and preparation of khatiyans on behalf of the landowners of the Chittagong Hill Tracts. The Emergency Property Requisition Act 1989 provides for the confiscation of property to deal with any emergency situation caused by flood, dilapidation, etc. Bangladesh`s Debt Settlement Act of 1989 provided for the establishment of a debt settlement board in each thana to assist poor farmers who were forced to transfer their land to creditors in various ways, including selling up to one acre of land at a price of up to 30,000 taka. and to return ownership of such land to the transferor.
that deals with the same thing as a hypothec or declares it null and void. Land is a fundamental factor for agricultural production and therefore directly linked to food security. Security of land interests is therefore an important basis for social and economic development. In addition, securing land rights is particularly important for the security of vulnerable groups, such as the poor, women and indigenous peoples. Land law is an essential branch of law in Bangladesh. It occupies a very important place in the legal system of Bangladesh. Nearly 80 per cent of disputes that result in backlogs in the subordinate court system involve land. Most of the cases pending before the Bangladeshi courts directly or indirectly concern land issues.
However, the land tenure system in Bangladesh is largely based on ancient laws enacted during the British and Pakistani periods. Thus, in order to secure the land rights of ordinary people and minimize land disputes, the current land management administration should be reformed without undue delay. Although the rights and obligations of tenants of non-agricultural land prior to the acquisition of rent were governed by the provisions of the Non-Agricultural Tenancies Act, 1949, after the acquisition of such interests by the Government, those tenants would be governed by the provisions of that Act, unless otherwise specified in Part V. With the exception of the assessment of rent, the increase and decrease in the same rights and obligations of other non-farm tenants would be governed by the terms of the lease deed and the provisions of the Transfer of Property Act of 1882. The sublease of agricultural and non-agricultural land would be null and void and would be confiscated and transferred to the government. No agricultural or non-agricultural lease rights would be created in a Khas land of a State by the mere payment of a premium or lease unless a deed of lease is signed and registered by an authority authorized to do so. A bona fide farmer is a person who cultivates his land himself or through family members or servants or agricultural or other workers or partners or bargadar. First, the definition clause in Article 2 seems immature.
For example, the term “land” is defined independently of other laws; The definitions of “agricultural land” and “non-agricultural land” are not harmonized with previous legislation, in particular the State Acquisition and Wetting Act 1950 (SAT Act) and the Non-Agricultural Tenancies Act 1949, nor with case law. (a) For agricultural or horticultural land, including cisterns. When Bengal was conquered by Bakhtiar Khalji in the early 13th century, the rulers simply changed the rate of land income from one-sixth to one-fifth or one-quarter of the produce, payable in cash or in kind. The usual rights of landowners to transfer land at will were not affected by tenants who previously paid rent. But those who paid part of the produce of the land they cultivated as rent or income did not have this right to transfer the land. However, these lands were inherited from the heirs of these tenants and could be cultivated by these heirs under the same conditions as their predecessors. Those who paid rent or cash income were personally liable and could be sued for collection of arrears, but could not be evicted from their land for non-payment of income. Only vacant lots were given like Jagir or Ayma to royal officers instead of their salaries and to religious and scholars for their maintenance. Whoever cultivated a wasteland became its owner, in return for the payment of rent or an estimated income. When the ceiling of land to be retained by a family was raised from 100 bighas to 375 bighas under Pakistani martial law, land ownership per family among average peasant families decreased significantly and the number of landless peasants increased. The Bangladesh government exempted peasants from paying rent for farmland up to 25 bighas per family, reduced the upper limit of land per family to 100 bighas, and provided that surplus government land be transferred to landless peasants for distribution along with other state Khas land.
The reduction of the tenants` lease of the diluted land was maintained, but the right of these tenants to reinstate the land after its reappearance was withdrawn, as these tenants or their heirs had only a preferential claim to settle the land as part of the government`s policy for the establishment of government khas. Every human being depends directly or indirectly on the earth for protection or sustenance. Thus, interest in land laws in Bangladesh is a human right and every human being has natural ownership of land.
