The Calcutta Thika Tenancy Stay of Proceediugs (Temporary 3 Provisions) Act, 1968. 3 of 1988. Reasons for the enactment cider the Calcutta Thika Tenancy Act, 1949 (West Bengal Act II of 1949), a. thika tenant is liable to ejectment from his holding on one or more of the grounds mentioned in that Act. Of late the problem of ejectment of thika tenants has assumed considerable magnitude particularly in the context of soaring land prices. The Government of West Bengal, therefore, proposed to under- take a comprehensive legislation for amending the Act with a view to preventing unfair eviction of thika tenants. Pending such a comprehensive amendment of the Act which would take some time, it was considered expedient by that Government to suspend temporarily all proceedings for ejectment of thika tenants.
