Which regulations gave the zamindars the right to seize the property of the tenants in case of non-payment of rent without any permission of a court of law?

Regulations of 1799 and 1812 regulations gave the zamindars the right to seize the property of the tenants in case of non-payment of rent without any permission of a court of law.Key Points

• The Regulations of 1799 and 1812 were a set of laws introduced by the British East India Company in Bengal.
• These regulations gave zamindars (landlords) the right to seize the property of their tenants in case of non-payment of rent without any permission from a court of law.
• This was a major departure from the previous system, under which tenants had more protection from arbitrary evictions.
• The zamindars used this new power to their advantage, often evicting tenants who could not afford to pay the high rents that were being demanded.
• This led to widespread poverty and unrest among the peasantry.
• The Regulations of 1799 and 1812 are considered to be one of the factors that contributed to the Great Bengal famine of 1770, which killed an estimated 10 million people. 
• The zamindari system was finally abolished in India after independence in 1947.
• However, the legacy of the Regulations of 1799 and 1812 continues to be felt by many people in India today.
