Section 7: Power to exclude

(1) Whenever the State Government considers it expedient to do so on account of the prevalence or non-prevalence of any law or custom in any locality or in the interests of the general public of such locality or for the protection of the interests of any scheduled tribe in such locality or because of the existence of any other ground which the State Government considers to be reasonable and adequate in the particular circumstances obtaining in such locality, it may, by notification in the Official Gazette, declare that, in any local area or with respect to any immovable property or class of immovable property therein or with respect to any transfer or class of transfers therein no right of pre-emption, or only such limited right as the State Government may specify in the notification, shall accrue. (2) The notification issued under sub-section (1) shall be laid, as soon as may be after it is so issued, before the House of the State Legislature while it is in session, for a period of not less than fourteen days which may be comprised in one session or in two successive sessions and if, before the expiry of the session in which it is so laid or of the session immediately following, the House of the State Legislature makes any modification in such notification or resolves that such notification should not be issued, such notification shall thereafter have effect only in such modified form or be of no effect, as the case may be, so however that any such modification or annulment shall be without prejudice to the validity of anything previously done thereunder
