Amending Act 22 of 2003.
Sub-section (3) of section 5 and section 7A of the Karnataka Village Offices Abolition Act, 1961 prohibits transfer of re-granted land within a period of 15 years from the date of commencement of section 1 and section 7A of the Karnataka Village Offices Abolition (Amendment) Act, 1978. They have come into force with effect from 7.8.1978.The fifteen years period has already expired in the year 1993.
Farmers are selling their land and thereby losing their lands which were granted to them by the Government earlier. Therefore, in order to safeguard the interest of farmers it is considered necessary to amend the said Act to prohibit transfer of re-granted land for a period of fifteen years from the date of re-grant made on or after the commencement of the Karnataka Village Offices Abolition (Amendment) Act, 2003
Hence the Bill.(Published in Karnataka Gazette (Extraordinary) Part IV-A, dated 9th May 2003 as No. 497 at page 13)
1) The plot we are planning to purchase is re-granted in 1972 with condition should not alienate the land without prior approval of concern office.
Now question is there are two amendments in village office abolition act in 1978 and 2003.
I would like know 15 years will get calculated from 1978 or 2003 ??
This will help us in making decision whether to go-ahead with registration plan or to drop the idea to become the land owner in Bangalore.
Thanks
Sanjeev
