Reasons for the enactment
The Uttar Pradesh Hindu Public Religious Institutions (Preven- tion of Dissipation of Properties) (Temporary Powers) Act, 1962, was passed with a view to preventing the dissipation of properties of Hindu Public religious Institutions. This was a temporary measure intended to be effective until flnalisation of comprehensive legislation in this regard. It has not so far been possible to finalise comprehen- sive legislation and in the meantime Government of India have pre- pared a Bill entitled the Public Trusts Bill applicable to all religious and charitable Trusts. The Bill has been circulated to the State Governments and Union Territory Administrations for expression of opinion. It will take some time more to finalise the ultimate shape of the comprehensive legislation. Accordingly, it is necessary further to extend the term of the Act which is due to expire on December 14, 1968, by two years.
2. The Committee constituted under the proviso to sub-section (2) of section 3 of the Uttar Pradesh State Legislature (Delegation of Powers) Act, 1968 (7 of 1968), has been consulted before the enact- ment of this measure as a President's Act.
