(1) The Requisitioned Land (Apportionment of Compensations Ordinance, 1949 (22 of 1949) is hereby repealed. (2) Notwithstanding such repeal, anything done or any action taken in the exercise of any power conferred by or under the said Ordinance shall be deemed to have been done or taken in the exercise of the powers conferred by or under this Act, as if this Act were in force on the day on which such thing was done or action taken. STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS "In a recent judgement the Calcutta High Court has held that an arbitrator appointed under Cl. (b) of section 19 of the Defence of India Act has no power to entertain any reference requiring apportionment of compensation between parties having different interests in the land. As a consequence of this ruling the payment of compensation in all cases where the interested parties could not agree came t a standstill. As an immediate remedy. Ordinance No. XXII of 1949 was promulgated to enable disposal of long pending cases. As the Ordinance will lapse on the expiry of six months form the date of promulgation, it is necessary to replace it by an Act."
