REASONS FOR THE ENACTMENT
The Bombay Land Requisition Act, 1948 (as in force in the State of Gujarat) provides for the requisition of land, for the continuance of requisition of land and for certain other purposes. The Act expires on the 31st December, 1974, Although the conditions in respect of housing accommodation in the State in general have substantially improved, there are areas in the State where conditions exist or arise which make it necessary to take recourse to the provisions of the Act. It is, therefore, considered necessary to extend the duration of the Act for a further period of one year, i.e. up to 31st December, 1975. The present measure is being enacted to give effect to the said proposal.
2. In view of the urgency of the matter, it is not practicable to consult the Consultative Committee of Parliament on Gujarat Legislation. The measure is accordingly being enacted without reference to the consultative committee. |
