The paper researches to the consequences of this Law on the development of village by mid-1950s and concludes that this law has definitely destroyed the major landowners and simplified social structure of local peasantry since, from that time onwards, it comprised very few people landless people, a significant population who had the medium size estates and a symbolic number of wealthy and big households.
