______ STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS FOR ACT NO.6 OF 2000 Disfigurement and defacement of places open to public view have of late taken menacing proportions. Besides causing nuisance they also spoil decent surroundings and beauty of such places. Some State Governments and Union Territories have enacted legislations to prevent defacement of properties. The Central Government and the Election Commission of India have impressed on this Administration, the need for such an enactment in this Union Territory to combat the growing menace of defacement of places open to public view by indiscriminate writing and pasting of posters. It is therefore necessary to bring about a legislation to prevent defacement of open places.
It is proposed to prohibit generally any objectionable advertisement or any advertisement without the written consent of the owner or occupier on any place open to public view. Power is also proposed to be vested in the Government to prohibit any defacement of public place in any area. The offences under the legislation are cognizable.
The Bill seeks to achieve the above objects.
