kdsingh80 Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 Quote Ruchika M KhannaTribune News ServiceChandigarh, March 14 The Punjab Vidhan Sabha on Monday passed the Punjab Satluj-Yamuna Link Canal Land (Transfer of Property Rights) Bill, 2016, unanimously. The Bill was introduced by Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal after the Question Hour. The Bill seeks to return 3,928 acres of land free of cost to the original landowners. The Bill was passed unanimously in the House, although a credit war erupted between the Opposition and Treasury benches over who had floated the idea of returning the land.

However, Vidhan Sabha speaker Charanjit Singh Atwal maintained that he had not received any such amendment. The state government will notify the terms and conditions for transfers of land and record rights will stand amended and automatically modified by the revenue authorities concerned. Suitable machinery will also be notified by the state government to set all claims of landowners. No suit, prosecution and all other legal proceedings can be instituted against the state government or any person for anything done in good faith, the Bill says. No civil court will have jurisdiction to entertain any suit or proceedings in respect of any matter arising with regard to this Bill. http://www.tribuneindia.com/news/punjab/punjab-assembly-passes-syl-bill/208744.html Master stroke by Badal, no wonder he keeps winning elections 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
