🧾 What is the Santhalparaganas Tenancy (Supplementary Provisions) Act, 1949?

The Santhalparaganas Tenancy Act of 1949 was enacted to protect the land rights of tribals in the Santhal Pargana region (now part of Jharkhand). It acts as a supplementary provision to earlier tenancy regulations, ensuring no transfer of tribal land to non-tribals and controlling land alienation.

📚 Key Highlights of the Act

  1. Land Alienation Prohibited
    ➤ Tribals cannot sell, mortgage, or gift their land to non-tribals without government permission.

  2. Restoration of Alienated Land
    ➤ Any land illegally transferred can be reclaimed through legal procedure.

  3. Protection from Eviction
    ➤ Tribals are protected from arbitrary eviction by landlords or outsiders.

  4. Village Head Rights (Manjhi-Hakims)
    ➤ Traditional tribal leaders retain certain powers in settlement and dispute resolution.

  5. No Court Jurisdiction Without Approval
    ➤ Civil courts cannot entertain land cases without specific provisions under this Act.

  6. Supplementary in Nature
    ➤ This Act supplements the main Santhal Parganas Tenancy Act, 1876, strengthening tribal protections.
