Cattle-Trespass Act, 1871

This edition reproduces the Cattle-Trespass Act, 1871 in a compact, practitioner-friendly format suitable for legal professionals, agricultural stakeholders, local government officials and rural administrators. The Act addresses liability where cattle straying from their owner’s control cause injury or damage to crops, property or persons on another’s land. The text defines owner/possessor responsibility, outlines grounds for civil claims, and provides the statutory language used in adjudication and compensation assessment. Presented with a clear table of contents, section headings and an index of key provisions, the volume is designed for quick lookup when drafting plaints, advising clients, or resolving village-level disputes. Helpful for magistrates and tribunals that deal with small-value property claims, and for NGOs or local bodies mediating conflicts between landowners and animal owners, this edition also supports teaching and research in rural law and agricultural regulation. Use it as a desk reference for legal citation, claim calculations, and enforcement procedures related to bovine or stray animal damage.
