STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS
Amending Act 66 of 2013.—At present the Karnataka Land Revenue Act, 1964 provides for distribution and grant of unauthorisedly cultivated lands through taluk level committee headed by the Member of Legislative Assembly. Consequent to the delimitation of Assembly Constituencies certain areas of taluk gets overlapped with the neighbouring taluks, thereby creating confusion as to which MLA has to be the head of the taluk level Committee.
To remove this anomaly, it was considered necessary to amend the Karnataka Land Revenue Act, 1964 (Karnataka Act 12 of 1964) for providing for separate Committees for each Assembly constituency wherever necessary.
As the matter was urgent and both the Houses of the Karnataka State Legislature were not in session, the Karnataka Land Revenue (Amendment) Ordinance, 2013 (Karnataka Ordinance No. 1 of 2013) was promulgated on 15.10.2013.
This Bill seeks to replace the said Ordinance.
Hence the Bill.
