TITLE: COLONIAL AGRARIAN POLICY AND PUNJAB TENANCY ACT- 1868: A CASE STUDY

ABSTRACT: The present paper attempts to focus on the Colonial Agrarian Policies and Punjab Tenancy Act, 1868 in the Punjab province. The previous land settlement policies were flawed and demanded changes because of this reason the officials at higher ranks intervened to form new policies which benefitted the Government, the Landlords and the Tenants. That’s how the Punjab Tenancy Act was introduced and passed in 1868. The Tenancy laws were introduced to protect tenants against the unfair practices and secure their rights.

KEYWORDS: Landlords, Tenants, Occupancy Rights and Tenancy Act.
