Reasons for the enactment

The Punjab Requisitioning and Acquisition of Immovable Pro- perty Act, 1953 (Punjab Act XI of 1953) was enacted to give special powers to the State Government to requisi- tion and acquire immovable property required for public purposes., being purposes of the State. The Act is in force in the Slate of Haryana by virtue of the provisions contained in the Pun jab Reorganisation Act, 1966. The life of the Act is to expire on the 14th April, 1968. There is still acute shortage of both residential and ciTice accommodation throughout the State of Haryana and therefore there is still need for the continuance of the special powers provided by the Act for the requisitioning and acquisition of immovable property. The proposed measure seeks to- extend the life of the Act by five more years, i.e., up to the 14th April, 1973.

2. The Committee constituted under the proviso to sub-section (2) of section 3 of the Haryana State Legislature (Delegation of Powers) Act, 1967 (30 of 1967), has been consulted before the enactment of this measure as a President's Act.
