THE CONSTITUTION OF INDIA
[Copy of letter No. F.3 (65) -B/63, dated the 13th April, 1964 from Shri T. T. Krishnamachari, Minister of Finance to the Secretary, Lok Sabha.]

346 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA EXTKAORDINAKY [PAHT IIBILL NO. 41 OF 1964
A Bill further to amend the Oil and Natural Gas Commission
Act, 1959.
BE it enacted by Parliament in the Fifteenth Year of the
Republic of India as follows: —
1. This Act may foe called the Oil and Natural Gas Commission Short title.
(Amendment) Act, 1964.
2. For section 24 of the Oil and Natural Gas Commission Act, 1959,
5 43 of 1959.
the following section shall be substituted, namely: —
Substitution of new lection for section 24.
CompuUoty acquisition of land for the Com- isaion.
"24. Any land required by the Commission for carrying out its functions under this Act shall be deemed to bo needed for a public purpose and such land shall be acquired for the Commis- sion under the provisions of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894.".
!O I ot I894.
SEC. 2] THE GAZETTE OF INDIA EXTRAORDINARY 347STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS
Under section 24 of the Oil and Natural Gas Commission Act, 1959, acquisition of land for the Commission has to be made only in accordance with the procedure laid down in Part VII of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 as if the Commission were a company within the meaning of clause (e) of section 3 of the said Act. This proce- dure has to be followed notwithstanding the fact that the land required by the Commission is deemed to be needed for a public purpose. The procedure for acquisition of land for companies under the Land Acquisition (Companies) Rules, 1963 is, however, a time- consuming process and difficulty is being experienced in acquiring land expeditiously for carrying out the oil exploration and produc- tion programmes of the Commission and this may adversely affect the targets for production of crude oil and gas. It is, therefore, considered necessary to amend section 24 of the Oil and Natural Gas Commission Act, 1959 so that land may be acquired, in cases where it is urgently required by the Commission, also under Part II of the Land Acquisition Act.
The Bill is designed to give effect to the above proposal.

[Copy of letter No. 10/80/63-ONG, dated the 18th April, 1964 from Shri O. V. Alagesan, Minister of State in the Ministry of Petroleum and Chemicals to the Secretary, Lok Sabha.]
The President having been informed of the subject matter of the Oil and Natural Gas Commission (Amendment) Bill, 1964 recom- mends under clause (3) of article 117 of the Constitution the con- sideration of the said Bill by the Lok Sabha.
348 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA EXTRAORDINABY [PART IIFINANCIAL MEMORANDUM
Under section 24 of the Act as amended, It would be possible to acquire land for the Commission also under Part II of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. If and when land is acquired under the said Part II, a small portion of the compensation will have to be provided out of the Consolidated Fund of India, It is not possible to visualise at this stage in how many cases land will be acquired under Part II and what would be the contribution of the Government towards compensation for such acquisition. In the circumstances, It Is not passible to give an assessment of the financial liability of the Govern- ment in this regard, but in any case it is not expected to eotceed Rs. 10,000 per year.
