STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS

1. In many parts of Karnataka, Government educational institutions have been

established and functioning on lands donated by individuals, families or

community bodies, often without formal documentation or registered

transfer. These donations, made in good faith, enabled the State to develop

vital educational infrastructure that has served generations of children.

Despite decades of undisputed public use, recent claims by successors or

legal heirs, based on technical gaps in documentation, have led to litigation

which has stalled construction and uncertainty over land status.

2. Presently, there exists no dedicated legislation to protect such lands or

validate informal gifts made for public education. Existing legal frameworks

do not adequately address long-standing, open and settled use of land for

Government educational institutions. This has left thousands of institutions

vulnerable to disruption and placed State infrastructure and public

investments at legal risk.

3. The Karnataka Government Educational Institution Lands (Protection and

Regularisation) Bill, 2026 seeks to address this challenge by,-

(a) providing for deemed vesting of lands where a Government educational

institution has functioned continuously and without objection for not

less than twelve years;

(b) barring stale claims or legal proceedings against such lands beyond a

twelve-year period of undisputed use;

documentation for educational purposes;

(d) empowering the State to issue Vesting Certificates, maintain an official

land register alongside establish a grievance redressal and appellate

mechanism;

(e) co-ordinating

with

relevant

departments,

including

those

administering forest, wakf, tribal and religious institution lands, to

ensure lawful regularisation and protection of Government educational

institution lands.

4. The proposed legislation does not extinguish valid rights unfairly but

provides procedural safeguards, including a limited window for raising

genuine claims and a forum for appeal. It aims to balance individual property

rights with long-standing public interest, uphold the fundamental right to

education and secure legal certainty for Government educational

infrastructure.

5. The Bill seeks to achieve the above objects.

Hence, the Bill.

FINANCIAL MEMORANDUM

There is no extra expenditure involved in the proposed legislative measure.

MEMORANDUM REGARDING DELEGATED LEGISLATION

Clause-11

Clause 11 empowers the State Government to make

rules to carrying out the purposes of this Act.

The proposed delegation of legislative power is normal in character.
