Hence the Bill. (Obtained from the L.C. Bill Copy of L.A. Bill No. 27 of 1984.) VI Amending Act 19 of 1986.- In the Karnataka Land Reforms Act, 1961, there is no provision for preferring an appeal against the order passed by the Land Reforms Tribunal. The High Court of Karnataka in Writ Petition No.28441/1981 has observed that the disposal of the cases by the Tribunal is not satisfactory and to facilitate proper adjudication of disputes a provision in the Act for preferring an appeal is desirable. It is hence intended to provide for an appeal against decisions of the Land Reforms Tribunal by constituting an Appellate Authority. 6 It is also intended to waive the instalment of premium payable on or after 17th October 1984 by person registered as occupants of land equal to 10 acres of D Class land or less. The Karnataka Land Reforms (Amendment) Ordinance 1985 (Karnataka Ordinance 18 of 1985) was promulgated for the said purposes. This Bill seeks to replace the said Ordinance. Opportunity is also taken to extend the jurisdiction of the Appellate Authority to the cases under the Mysore (personnel and Miscellaneous) Inams Abolition Act, 1954, the Mysore (Religious and Charitable) Inams Abolition Act 1955, the Karnataka (Sandur Area) Inams Abolition Act, 1976 and the Certain Inams Abolition Act, 1977, decided by the Land Reforms Tribunal (Published in the Karnataka Gazette (Extraordinary) Part IV- 2A dated 21-2-1986 as No. 135 at page 11.) VII Amending Act 4 of 1987.- The last date for filling the application before Land Tribunals for registration as occupants of land vested in the Government under the Mysore Religious and Charitable Inams Abolition Act, 1955, the Karnataka (Sandur Area) Inams Abolition Act, 1976 and the Karnataka Certain Inams Abolition Act, 1977 was 31st March , 1984 and 31st December 1984 in respect of enfranchised inams. Since representations have been received to further extend the time, the Karnataka Ordinance 16 of 1986 was promulgated on Twenty-seventh November, 1986. The present Bill is intended to replace the Ordinance. It is also proposed to enhance the time in respect of enfranchised inams. Hence the Bill. (Published in the Karnataka Gazette (Extraordinary) Part IV- 2A dated 23-1-1987 as No. 78 at page 4.) VIII Amending Act 18 of 1990.- After the Karnataka land Reforms Act, 1961, was amended by Act 1 of 1974, it was expected that litigations pertaining to the tenancies would be disposed off early. However, the Act was again amended by Act No. 19 of 1986, and provision was made for an appeal to the Land Reform Appellate Authority with two Official members, of whom one was a Civil Judge from the Judicial Department and another from the Revenue Department not below the rank of a Deputy Commissioner. 7 Earlier to the amendment Act No. 19 of 1986, the orders of the Land Tribunals were final and they could only be questioned before the High Court in it's Writ Jurisdiction. However, from the past experience, it is found that the desired results were not forthcoming from the constitution of the Appellate Authorities. The system has also not proved to be beneficial in the majority of the cases. Hence, after taking all factors into consideration, the Government decided to abolish the Land Reforms Appellate Authorities and to make the decision of the Tribunal final. Hence the Bill. (Published in the Karnataka Gazette (Extraordinary) Part IV- 2A dated 28-6-1990 as No. 420 at page 7.) IX Amending Act 3 of 1991.- The last date for filling the application before Land Tribunal for registration as occupants of land vested in the Government under the Karnataka (Sandur Area) Inams Abolition Act, 1976 and the Karnataka Certain Inams Abolition Act, 1977 was 30th June, 1987, including the enfranchised inams also. Since representations have been received to extend the time, it is considered necessary to further extend the time upto 31st day of March,
