Reasons for the enactment

The provisions of the Calcutta Thika Tenancy Act, 1949 are not considered adequate to protect the interests of thika tenants in Calcutta area. Proposals to make comprehensive amendments in the 1949 Act have been under consideration of the Government of West Bengal with a riew to further restricting the eviction o£ tkikn tenants and conferring more rights on such tenants. Pending the finalisation of comprehensive proposals, the Government of West Bengal consi- dered it necessary to undertake interim legislation to stay all proceedings for ejectment of thika tenants. The Calcutta Thika Tenancy Stay of Proceedings (Temporary Provisions) Ordinance, 1P67 was accordingly promulgated by the Governor of 'Wept Bengal on 26th August, 1967. The provisions of the Ordinance which were to expire on the 9th January, 1968 were continued by promulgation of the Second Ordinance on 5th January, 1968. Consequent on the imposition of President's rule in the State of West Bengal, the provi- sions of the Ordinance have been rfe-enacted in the Calcutta Thika Tenancy Stay of Proceedings (Temporary Provisions) Act, 1968 (President's Act 3 of 1968)., staying eviction proceedings up to and inclusive of 25th September, 1968.

2. As the comprehensive amendment of the Calcutta Thika Tenancy Act, 1949 bas not so far been finalised, it is considered necessary to continue the interim protection and stay of eviction proceedings beyond 25th September, 1968 by extending the life of th? President's Act 3 of 1968 for a further period of six months, i.e., up to and inclusive of 25th March, 1969.

3. The proposed measure seeks to provide for the six month extension.

4. The Committee constituted under the proviso to sub-section (2) of section 3 of the West Bengal State Legislature (Delegation of Powers) Act, 1968 (6 of 1968), has been consulted regarding the PTI- actment of this measure as a President's Act.

Reasons /or the enactment

The U.P, Ek:cti icily (Temporary Powers of Control) Act, 1947, provides for the eor.tro¹ of the production, supply and distribution of, and trade and commerce in, electricity. The Act is due to expire on September 30, 1968. Although the position regarding the supply of electrical energy has improved since the life of the Act was last extended in 1863, the demand for energy continues to outstrip its supply. It is, therefore, necessary in the interest of the general public that the life of the Act should be extended for a further period of five years,

2. As it is not practicable to refer the present legislation to the Consultative Committee of Parliament on Uttar Pradesh Legislation, it has been decided, in view of the urgency of the matter, to enact the present legislation without such reference.
