About this Act
An Act to impose certain restrictions on transfer of lands which have been acquired by the Central Government or in respect of which acquisition proceedings have been initiated by that Government, with a view to preventing large-scale transactions of purported transfers or, as the case may be, transfers of such lands to unwary public.
Where the
competent authority has made any order under section 5 refusing to grant permission to transfer any land
or where, an appeal having been filed against such order, the prescribed authority has made an order
under section 6 confirming such order, then, the order refusing to grant permission to transfer such land
shall be in operation only for a period of three years from the date of the order made by the competent
authority or the prescribed authority, as the case may be, and thereafter, but subject to the provisions of
section 3, it shall be lawful for the person who has applied for permission, or his successor-in-interest, to
transfer such land by sale, mortgage, gift, lease or otherwise.
Explanation.--In computing the period of three years, under this section, in relation to any land, the period during which the acquisition proceedings in relation to such land have been stayed by any court shall be excluded
