II Amending Act 27 of 1978.- The Karnataka Industrial Areas Development Act, 1966 (Karnataka Act No. 18 of 1966), was enacted for the establishment of industrial areas in the State and generally to promote the establishment and orderly development of industries therein. According to section 34 penal action could be taken against any person who constructs or alters or uses any building in an industrial area or industrial estate contrary to the terms under which he holds such building or land. There is, however, no provision in the Act to demolish or alter the unauthorised structures for the purpose of enforcing the building regulations made under the Act, it is considered necessary to empower the Board to demolish unauthorised constructions and to direct the holders to construct or alter buildings in accordance with the regulations and conditions laid down in this behalf and if they fail to do so to get it done at their cost. Hence this Bill. (Published in the Karnataka Gazette (Extraordinary) Part IV- 2-A No. 950 dated 14-6-1978 at page 5.)

V Amending Act 11 of 1997.- After the liberalisation of economic and industrial policies in the year 1991 increased emphasis has been given for Private Sector investment not only in the Industrial Sector but also in the Infrastructural Sectors. As such, a number of proposals, both from indigenous and foreign companies have been received for considerable investments in infrastructural areas like establishment of power subjects, express highways, ports, airports, townships, industrial works etc. These projects need considerable extent of land for implementation. Therefore, it is considered necessary to amend the Karnataka Industrial Areas Development Act. 1966 to enable the Board to acquire and for providing industrial Infrastructural facilities. Accordingly, it is proposed to incorporate the definition of industrial Infrastructural facilities. Since, it is not possible to declare any area as a notified area under the Constitution 73rd Amendment Act, section 16 has been omitted. Certain consequential amendments are also made. Hence this Bill. (Published in the Karnataka Gazette (Extraordinary) Part IV-2-A No. 224, dated 19-2-1997 at page 11.) VI Amending Act 19 of 2000.- It is considered necessary to provide for a provision, otherwise than section 25, enabling of the Board to specify resumption of the possession of the premises in case of breach of any of the terms of lease or contract or unauthorised occupation by lease, without having recourse to the provisions of the Public Premises (Eviction of Un-authorised Occupation) Act, 1974 or by filing a civil suit for possession.
