The Bombay Land Requisition (Gujarat Extension of Duration) Act, 1963

General19633 sections

This Act amends the Bombay Land Requisition Act, 1948 to extend its duration for the state of Gujarat. It replaces the original expiration date of December 1963 with December 1966, and later amendments extend it to December 1975 and finally to December 1977. The legislation allows the government to requisition land in Gujarat for public purposes while providing compensation to landowners. By extending the duration, the Act ensures that the power to requisition land remains available for development projects and public infrastructure needs in Gujarat beyond the original timeframe. The Act also repeals certain ordinances that had previously extended the duration.
