REASONS FOR THE MANAGEMENT
Sub-section (2) of section 11 of the Gujarat Private Forests (Acquisition) Act, 1972 provides that an application for payment of amount for the extinguishment of any right of any person, other than an owner of private forest, shall be made in the prescribed form within six months from the appointed day, that is, the date on which the Act comes into force. The Act came into force on 1st August, 1973, but the form for making the application as aforesaid could not be prescribed by rules within six months from the said date. It is, therefore, considered necessary to extend the period for making such application up to 31st December, 1974 so as to give to the persons interested, in making such application, reasonable time for doing so after the required form is prescribed. The present measure seeks to achieve this object.
2. The Committee constituted under the proviso to sub-section (2) of section 3 of the Gujarat State Legislature (Delegation of Powers) Act, 1974 (11 of 1974) has been consulted before enacting this measure as a President’s Act.

By order and in the name of the Governor or Gujarat.
