General19616 sections

The Gandhidham (Development and Control on Erection of Buildings) (Amendment) Act, 1966, serves as a legislative update to the principal 1957 Act governing urban development in Gandhidham. Its primary purpose is to streamline the administrative functions of the Gandhidham Development Authority. Key changes include authorizing the payment of emoluments to the Authority’s members, establishing an official seal, and introducing a "compounding" mechanism allowing offenders to pay a fine (up to ₹10,000) to settle violations without court proceedings. Furthermore, it clarifies that all Authority members and employees are "public servants," ensuring legal accountability for their official actions and protecting them under the Indian Penal Code.
