objects and reasons the delhi land reforms act, 1954, came into force on the 20th july 1954 in the course of implementation of this act, certain deficiencies in the law have come to notice the common lands in the rural areas were vested in the gaon sabhas under section 154 of that act the gaon sabhas are responsible for managing and controlling such lands and in particular to take steps for removal of encroachments over those lands under sections 42, 46 and 81 of the act, they are also charged with the responsibility of securing the ejectment of persons who acquire  lands by transfers in contravention of chapter m of the act or who divert agricultural lands far non-agriculturai purposes a number of gaoltsabhas have however, failed to effectively discharge these functions a large number of en-croachments on gaon sabha lan~ and transfers in contravention of the law have come to notice it has, therefore, become necessary to invest the revenue authorities also with necessary powers to supplement the eftorts of the gaon sabhas in removing encroachments on gaon sabha lands and ejecting persons who violate the law in a number of cases the gaon sabhas have suftered losses on account of admission by the pradbans or other ofbce-beuers of panehayats of incorrect claims made by unauthorised occupants of gaon sabha lands in suits brought under section 36 of the delhi panchayat raj act, 1954 it is necessary to devise 11dequate measures to retrieve such properties and to prevent such losses in future~ after the commencement of the de!hi municipal corporation act, 1957, a number of villages which were under the jurisdiction of gaon sabhas have been urbanised and the delhi panchayat raj act, 1954, has ceased to apply in these areas however, the gaon sabhas being corporate bodies continue to exist in these areas even though they have no panchayat functions 'nlere is no provision in the existing law to wind up these bodies in the urbanised areas but as an interim measure, the management of their properties in those areas has been entrusted to the deputy commissioner it is necessary to make provisions for winding up the gaon sabhas in urbanised areas and for the disposal of their assets and liabilities the bill seeks to give effect to the objects mentioned above and also makes provision for certain other matters the provisions at the bill are explained in detail in the notes on clauses new delhi; g l nanna the 30th april, 1965  president's recommendation under article 117 of the constitution of india[copy of letter no f 3fll/64-utl, dated the 4th may, 1965 from shri jai sukh la! hathi, minister of state in the mlniatry of home mairs to the secretary, lok sabha] the president having been informed of the bubject matter of the bill further to amend the delhi land reforms act, 1954 (delh1 act 8 of 1954), recommends, under clauses (1) and (3) of article 117 of the constitution, the introduction and consideration of the laid bill in the lok sabha during its current session clause i-the need for giving retrospective effect to clauses 23 and 24 of the bill has been explained against those clauses clause 2-this makes a change consequent on the introduction of fa new section by clause 11 clause 3-under section 33 of the principal act, transfer of land by a bhumidhar by sale, gift or otherwise is prohibited except in certain circumstances, if the resalt of such transfer is to leave him with less than eight standard acres~ this clause makes it dear that if the land already held is less than eight standard acres the restriction shall operate only in regard to transfer of portions of such land but not the entire land clause 4-under section 36 of the principal act, a bhumidhar who is serving in the armed forces of the union can lease the land to a tenant when persons who have been assisting their old parents or relatives in agricultural operations join the armed forces, such parents and relatives are put to diftlculties because they cannot lease the land under the existing law if the land held by them is eight 8talfdard acres or more in some cases this acts as a dis-incentive to able-bodied persons joining the armed forces this clause seeks to remove this difficulty by enabling persons depending for assistance in agricultural operations on those joining the armed forces to lease the land to tenants clause 5-this dause makes an amendment which is consequential to clauses 7 and 9 clause s-difficulties are often experienced in constructing roads, irrigation channels and other works of public utility in the rural areas on account of the reluctance of the bhumidhars to part with the land required for the purpose and because the acquisition proceedats are time-consuming however they may be inclined to part with the land required for such purposes if they are providect with some other land in exchange section 40 of the principal act stands in any way of such exchange in the case of lands belonging to gaon sabhas and other authorities this clause seeks to remove this difticulty clauses 7, 9 and 10-under sections 42 and 46 of the principal act, if a bhumidhar or an asami transfers the land in contravention of section 33 or any other nrovision of chapter m of the act, the gaon sabba may file a iult for ejectment of the transferee on such ejectment, the gaon sabha is entitled to tak~ possession of the land under section 72 of the principal act section 42 has been ampufted to cover the provisions of section 46 which has, therefore, been omitted by clause 9 clause 10 makes a consequential change to s~ plement the efforts of the gaon sabhas to secure ejectment of persons who violate the provisions of the law relating to transfers, clause 7 seeks to confer powers on the revenue ac:sistant also to take action to eject such persons an appeal from the orders 01 the revenue assistant win lie to the deputy commissioner and in the case of bhumidhars a second appeal will lie to the chief commissioner clause 26(b) of the bill makes provision in this behalf  clause 8-this makes a change consequentud to clau!ije 3clauses 11, 12 and 13-in view of the need for increased food produetion it is necessary to ensure that no cultivable land is left uncultivated new section 65a proposed in clause 11 provides that the deputy commissioner may if the land is left uncultivated for two years or more and sufficient cause is not shown for keepin~ the land uncultivated, lease such land to any person for a period of ftve years on the expiry of that ~od, bhumidhari right mav if the land is properly cultivated, be conferred on the lessee if the land is left uncultivated by an asami, his rights would be extinguished and the bhumidhar would be required to bring the land under cultivation within six months if he fails to do so, it would be open to the deputy commissioner to lease out the land on behalf of the bhumidhar an appeal will lie to the chief commissioner from the decision of the deputy commissioner provision to this effect has been made fn clause 26(d) of the but clauses 12 and 13 make consequential amendments in section 67 and 68 of the principal act clatue 14-to facilitate re-settlement of ex-servicemen, this clause confers on members of the armed forces and dependents of such members killed in action, the highest priority in tlle matter of adotment of vacant or other lands available with the gaon sabhas and provides for special preference being given in the case of persons decorated for gallantry  the power to au()t gaon sabha land rests with the gaan babbs themselves in order to ensure that this power is not misused ft has been provided in this clause that the deputy commissiod«!r may, if he is satisfietl that the gaon sabha has acted with substantial f1"regularfty or otherwise than in accordance with the act, cancel the order nf allotment if any person retains possession of the -land even after such cancellation, he shall be liable to be ejected an appeal from the order of the deputy commissioner will lie to the chief commissioner provision in this behalf has been made ill clause 26 (e) of the bill  - -clause 15-this clause makes certain changes which are con-eque~tial to clauses 7, 9, 20 and 21 of the bill clause 16-under section 36, a bhumidhar who is a member of the armed forces can lease his land but can recover possession thereof on retum to civil life, only by a suit under section 77 (c) (u) in order to enable such persons to take to their normal vocation as expeditiously as possible, clause 16 provides that such a person if he needs the land immediately may, instead of filing a suit apply to the deputy commissioner for ejectment of the tenant and that the deputy commissioner may eject the tenant after giving notice if there is any crop standing on the land at that time, the ejectment will be effected within one month of harvesting that crop clause 17-this clause makes a consequential amendment clause 18-under section 81, the gaon &bha has to ftle a illit for ejecting of a person who diverts unauthorised by agricultural land for non-agricultural purposes the amendment proposed ~imu1taneously empowers the revenue assistant to eject such persons so as to supplement the effort of the gaon sabhas in such cases, an appeal will lie to the deputy commissioner as provided in clause 26 (h) of the bill clau!e 19-under section 84, a person who is illegally occupying the land of the gaon sabha, can be ejected on a suit of the gaon sabha and the same process has to be repeated if he re-enters the land after ejectment to effectively prevent repeated encroachments by the same persons, it is necessary to provide that if a person who is once ejected by a suit re-enters the land he would be liable to punishment accordingly, this clause pro-_ vides that the person re-entering or attempting to re-enter the land from which he was once ejected sroll be presumed to have done so with intent to intimidate or annoy the person in possession or the gaon sabha within the meaning of section 441 'of the indian penal code· cla:u8e 20-under section 84 of the act read with s no 19 of the first schedule to the principal act, a suit for ejectment can be filed under that section within three years from the 1st july following the date of illegal occupation of gaon sabha lands in most of the cases of encroachment which have co~e to notice, this period is over and due to the inaction of the gaon sabhas the land is still in the possession of the illegal occupants this clause, therefore, provides for ejectment suits being filed by the gaon sabhas in such cases within three years from the date of passing of this bill however, where the persons had acquired transferable rights in such lands by virtue of the existing provisions of section 85 and transferred the land for valuable consideration before the date of introduction of this bill, this remedy cannot be availed of this position has been made clear in this clause clause 21-new section 86a proposed this clause gives concurrent powers to the revenue assistant to make an order for ejectment of the trespassers where the gaon sabha can'file a suit for ejectment under section 84 or 85 or 86 as provided in clause 26 (k) of the bill, appeals from the orders of the revenue assistant will lie to the deputy commissioner , clause 22-under section 138 of the act, a person can be arrested or detained ii he has defaulted in the payment of any arrear of land revenue there are several other kinds of government dues arrears of which are recoverable as arrears of land revenue but the second proviso to this clause imposes a ban on detention for the recovery of such other arrears this is creatin, diftlculty in recovering other government dues this clause, therefore, seeks to omit , the second proviso clause 23-this clause contains the necessary pro\'isions foi winding up the geon sabhas in areas which have been or may hereafter be urbanised in certain cases, where the area left with a gaon sabha, after urbanisation of the rest of its area is too small, it would be necessary to merge the gaon sabha with the adjoining gaon  sabha provision has therefore been made in this clause to· provide for these contingencies also as urbanisation had taken place under the delhi municipal corporation act,' 1957, clause 1 (2) of the bill seeks to gi't'e retrospective e1fect-tb this clause from the date of commencement of the relevant provisions of that act clause 24-under clause 23, all the gaon sabha lands in urban areas will vest in the government and under section 1 (2) (b) of the delhi land reforms act, 1954, these lands will go out of the purview of that act however, some of the lands may still be with asamfs of the gaon sabhas in order to protect their interests, this clause seeks to amend section 154 to provide that so long as any such land is held by an asami, the delhi land reforms act, 1954 will continue to apply to such land notwithstanding the fact that it has become government land this clause is also proposed to be given retrospective eff~_c~ for the _r~'¥j~ns_ mentioned gaimt clause 23 clau8e 25-in order to deal with the problem created by the admission of incorrect claims made by unauthorised occupants of gaoa sabba 18nds in suits brought under section 36 of the delhi panehayat raj act, 1954, new section 161b proposed in this clause empowers government to apply' to the court for setting aside the decree or order within twelve months of the date of passing of this bill this power will he available only in those cases where there is prifll4 facie evidence that the land concerned was not included in the holding of such occupant in the 'revenue records for the year ending on the 30th june 1954 when the decree or order is set aside, the suit or proceeding is to be tried afresh after adding government as a party new section 161a proposed in this clause provides two stbfeguards for the future, namely, that in suits under section 36 of the delhi panchayat raj act, 1954, government shall be a party and the admission made by pradhan or any respresentative of the gaod sabha shall not be taken into account unless it is authorised by the director of panchayats or any officer authorised in this behalf clause 26-certain provisions of this clause have already been explained in the notes on earlier clauses other amendments sought to be made by this clause are of a consequbtial nature except that the opportunity has been availed of to fix the court fee in certain cases at rs 1: 25 which is the minimum rate now prevailing in the territory, as against the rate of fifteen annas prescribed in the first schedule to the act clause 27-& statedin thestatement of objects and reuodb, fn th~ urbanised areas the deputy commissioner bas been entrusted with the task of managing the gaon sabha properties in pursuance of this power, he has taken such action as the gaon sabha could have taken and has also filed ejectment suits as these properties will vest iil qovernment retrospectively, his actions are sought to be validated as having been taken on 'bihalf of the  government there have been a few instances where suits filed by the deputy commissioner for possession of gaon _ sabha lands were dismissed on the grouiid tl18t he had no locus standi this clause
