Explanation:

Jammu and Kashmir Big Landed Estates Abolition Act, 1950 led to the radical redistribution of land which paved way for rural prosperity and ended landlordism in J&K.

Under the Jammu and Kashmir Big Landed Estates Abolition Act, 1950, the land was transferred to the tillers.

The Act also prescribed a limit to right of ownership of 182 standard kanals (22.75 acres).

However as per the current dispensation, this Act has been repealed and there is another legislation i.e. The Jammu & Kashmir Agrarian Reforms Act, 1976, for transfer of land to tillers which is in force.

This Act prescribes ceiling restriction of 100 standard kanals (12.5 acres)
