Power to remove difficulties. * * * * STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS I Act 2 of 1979.- The non-alienation clause contained in the existing Land Grant Rules and the provision for cancellation of grants where the land is alienated in contravention of the above said provision are found not sufficient to help the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes grantees whose ignorance and poverty have been exploited by persons belonging to the affluent and powerful sections to obtain sales or mortagages either for a nominal consideration or for no consideration at all and they have become the victims of circumstances. To fulfil the purposes of the grant, the land even if it has been alienated, should be restored to the original grantee or his heirs. The Government of India has also been urging the State Government for enacting a legislation to prevent alienation of lands granted to Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes by Government on the lines of the model legislation prepared by it and circulated to the State Government. Hence the Bill. (Published in the Karnataka Gazette (Extraordinary) Part IV-2A dated 30-6-1978 as No. 1000 at page7.) II Amending Act 3 of 1984.- It has been considered necessary to make a provision for an appeal to District Judge against an order passed by Assistant Commissioner under the Act. Hence the Bill. (Published in the Karnataka Gazette (Extraordinary) Part IV-2A dated 23-1-1984 as No. 67 at page 4.) 2 III Amending Act 8 of 1992.- The Karnataka Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prohibition of Transfer Certain Lands) Act, 1978 does not provide for preferring an appeal to the Deputy Commissioner, by the grantee of the granted land, if the Assistant Commissioner acting under sub-section (1) of section 5 holds that the transfer is not null and void. With a view to eliminate hardship and to minimise the burden of cost to such a grantee, it is proposed to make a provision for preferring an appeal to the Deputy Commissioner against such order made by the Assistant Commissioner. Hence the Bill. (Published in the Karnataka Gazette (Extraordinary) Part IV-2A dated 16-3-1992 as No. 144 at page 66.) * * * * 3 KARNATAKA ACT NO. 2 OF 1979 (First published in the Karnataka Gazette Extraordinary on the First day of January, 1979) THE KARNATAKA SCHEDULED CASTES AND SCHEDULED TRIBES (PROHIBITION OF TRANSFER OF CERTAIN LANDS) ACT, 1978 ( Received the assent of the President on the Eighteenth day of December, 1978) (As Amended by Acts of 3 of 1984 and 8 of 1992) An Act to provide for the prohibition of transfer of certain lands granted by government to persons belonging to the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in the State.
