Assembly winter session: Himachal govt introduce billto amend land transfer laws
Hindustan TimesThe Himachal Pradesh government on the first day of the four-day winter session--on Wednesday--introduced an amendment to the Himachal Pradesh ceiling on Land Holdings Act to allow the transfer of land for religious, spiritual or charitable purposes, subject to the maximum limit of thirty acres. This comes after the state government decided to bring an Amendment Bill to the Himachal Pradesh Ceiling on Land Holdings Act,1972, to enable the charitable hospital run by Radha Soami Satsang Beas in Bhota area of Hamirpur district, to transfer its land to a sister organisation--Maharaj Jagat Singh Medical Relief Society. The bill further states that the Radha Soami Satsang Beas has been requesting the state government time and again to allow it to transfer the Land and building of Bhota Charitable Hospital to the Jagat Singh Medical Relief Society which is said to be its sister organisation, for better management of the medical services. The bill proposes that in the Section 4 of the HP Police Act of 2007, the sub-section should be substituted with: “Recruitment of the non-gazetted police officers grade-II to the state cadre shall be made through police recruitment board, in accordance with the recruitment and promotion rules framed by the state government.” It also provides the amendment to Section 65 of the act that: “No police officer shall arrest a public servant for any act done while discharging his duties as public servant except with the prior sanction of the government.
