Repeal. * * * * STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS I Act 24 of 1974.- Consequent upon the construction of many multistoreyed buildings with lifts, particlarly in Bangalore City, the number of lifts working in the State is on the increase. A number of safety devices and safety precautions are necessary for operating the lifts in the interest of the safety of users. But they cannot be insisted upon in the absence of proper auathority. The Bombay Lifts Act, 1939 is in force at present in the 2 Bombay Area only. It is therefore proposed to enact a law on the line of the Bombay Act applicable throughout the State. Hence this Bill. (Published in the Karnataka Gazzete Part IV -2-A (Ex-ordinary) No 280 , dated 22.3.1973 is at page 12. ) II Amending Act 22 of 1993.- Section 3 of the Karnataka Lifts Act, 1974 provides a period of six months for erection of Lifts from the date of granting of permission. It is observed that in practice due to various circumstances the erection of lifts cannot be completed within the stipulated period. It is therefore considered necessary to extend the period of six months to twelve months and also to extend such permission beyound twelve months on the recommendation of the authorised officer. It is also considered necessary to increase the inital inspection fee under section 4 and annual inspection fee under section 12 from rupees one hundred to two hundred and fifty and from rupees fifty to one hundred respectively since the said fees have not been increased so far. Hence the Bill.
