The Cantonments Act, 2006 along with Allied Rules

The Cantonments Act, 2006 along with Allied Rules is a key legislation governing the administration and management of cantonment areas across India, replacing the earlier Cantonments Act of 1924. The Act establishes a structured system for local self-governance through Cantonment Boards, outlining their composition, powers, functions, and responsibilities.

This book offers the complete and updated text of the Act along with allied rules, addressing critical areas such as taxation, regulation of buildings, land and property management, public health, sanitation, civil services, and dispute resolution within cantonment jurisdictions. It provides clear statutory guidance on the interaction between civil administration and defence authorities, making it indispensable for practitioners dealing with cantonment-related legal and administrative issues.

The USP of this publication lies in its consolidated presentation of the Act with all relevant allied rules, enabling quick reference and accurate interpretation. It is especially useful for lawyers, government officials, defence estate officers, and law students, as well as professionals involved in municipal and administrative governance.
