Statement of Objects and Reasons on the West Bengal Thika Tenancy (Acquisition and Regulation) Bill, 2000 (Bill No. 18 of 2000).
STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS.
The Calcutta Thika and other Tenancies and Lands (Acquisition and Regulation) Act, 1981 (West Ben. Act XXXVII of 1981) (hereinafter referred to as the said Act) was amended in 1993 to make up for certain deficiencies in the said Act. In course of administering the said Act, it has come to the notice of the State Government that certain provisions of the said Act are still defective, leaving scope for addition to existing litigations. It is, therefore, necessary to amend the said provisions.
2. The Bill has been framed with the above object in view.
