Section 2A of the Hyderabad Abolition of Inams and Cash Grants Act, 1954 (Hyd. Act No. VIII of 1955) provides for the powers of the State Government or authorised officer to decide certain questions relating to Inams and filing of appeals by aggrieved persons before the Collector and the Divisional Commissioner. Sub-section (3) of said section 2A provides that, the Government may, where no appeal is filed, call for the record of the proceedings of the authorised officer for the purpose of satisfying itself as to the legality, propriety or regularity of proceedings or decisions after the expiry of the period for appeal but not later than one year from such decision.
2. The Government upon inquiry into certain complaints about the legality of the orders passed by the authorised officers under sub-section 2A in respect of certain Inam lands is satisfied that such orders needs to be revised. Therefore, in order to enable the Government or the Divisional Commissioner authorised to undertake revision of such orders in exceptional cases, sub-section (3) of the said section 2A is proposed to be amended, suitably.
3. The Government has by the Maharashtra Act No. XXV of 2015 amended sub-section (3) of section 6 of the said Act with a view to provide for transfer, regularisation of unauthorized transfer and conversion of the occupancy of Inam lands on payment of fifty per cent., of current market value of such land as a Nazarana and certain penalty to the State Government. The Government has formed a committee of revenue officers to study the provisions of said sub-section (3), need to amend the same and their possible consequences. The said Committee in its report has stated that in past several years there has been increase in market value of such lands, due to which response from the grant holders is less for transfer, regularization or conversion of such lands as per the above referred amendment. Therefore, the said Committee recommended to reduce the amount of Nazarana. In view of various representations received from representatives of people and the recommendation of the said Committee, it is considered necessary to reduce the amount of Nazarana for transfer, regularisation and conversion of the occupancy of Inam lands payable under sub-section (3) of the said section 6 by suitably amending the said section.
4. As both Houses of the State Legislature are not in session and the Governor of Maharashtra is satisfied that circumstances exist which render it necessary for him to take immediate action further to amend the Hyderabad Abolition of Inams and Cash Grants Act, 1954, for the purposes aforesaid, this Ordinance is promulgated.
