THE KARNATAKA COMMAND AREAS DEVELOPMENT (AMENDMENT) ACT, 2003
Arrangement of Sections
Sections:
1. Short title and commencement
2. Amendment of section 24
STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS
The Annual Reports prepared by the Authority every year is placed before each House of the Legislature, as provided in the Act. But, there is no specific provision to place the CADA accounts audited and certified by the Controller of State Accounts before each of the Houses of the State Legislature.
It is, therefore, considered necessary to amend section 24 of the Act to provide for placing the accounts audited before each House of the State Legislature alongwith the Annual Reports, as soon as it is received by the State Government.
Hence the Bill.
