Two Congress General Ministers Gagan Thapa and Vishwaprakash Sharma have amended the proposed land bill to prevent misuse by land mafias using loopholes in the law.
In view of the misuse of land in excess of the limits given by the government in the name of 'Patanjali Yogpith' and 'Giribandhu Tistate', General Minister Thapa and Sharma He has raised the demand that clear provisions should be made in the law to prevent such incidents from happening again in the future. "For the purposes for which the government has given permission to grant land in excess of the limit, the amendment has been made so that there should be a clear provision in the law so that it cannot be misused for other purposes," said Pratap Paudel, the legal advisor of General Minister Thapa, "Now the proposed bill has two meanings and is confusing, so it has been amended to clarify it." are . They have proposed a provision to add 12 (h) to the said section and title it as a special provision on the limitation of real estate business and clarify the restrictive phrase after sub-section 4.
Instead of the restrictive provisions currently in place, "However, when taking a restriction exemption according to the current law, the land exempted or approved for the use of commercial agricultural industries such as agricultural farms, tea industries, establishments, educational institutions, health institutions, etc., is kept empty (barren) without being used for the specified purpose, or is used for a different purpose, or later sets up a real estate business company and conducts real estate business on that land under the name of that company, or has received approval to do such business or applied for approval for the same purpose, including agricultural industry. It is their proposal that provision should be made that it is not allowed to do real estate business on the land that has been exempted or approved, or to construct or sell housing works (apartments) on such land in accordance with this section.
The eighth amendment of the Land Act 2021 was made in 2076, when Prime Minister Oli was the leader of the government. At that time, Oli is still being criticized for making a law so that land beyond the limits of Giribandhu Tistate can be leased and sold. The bill proposed now has taken a more relaxed policy even in the earlier arrangement . By amending the provisions of the Act, the Bill has made it easier to sell the land in excess of the limit and to give landless Dalits, squatters and unorganized residents a red portion.
As there is no prompt provision in the bill to prevent the misuse of demarcated land, the activities of land mafias may increase and the Chief Minister suggested that the provisions to prevent misuse should be made clear in the bill. They have amended Article 52 (b) of the original Act to provide land to landless Dalits and squatters and to remove the word "unorganized residents" from this section.
The government has also demanded an amendment to the National Parks and Wildlife Protection Act 2029 saying that the government should be more clear in the provisions of the law that can be misused even when giving land to landless Dalits, squatters and unorganized residents .
Landless Dalits, squatters and unorganized dwellers have been marked as forest and buttyan on the land map, but arrangements have been made to redraw it once and bring it to the name of the government and distribute it . The Chief Minister has also amended the related provisions saying that if it is not made clear, it may be misused. According to Thapa's legal advisor, Poudel, it is mentioned that the provision of ownership of land should be made clear by looking at the economic status of landless Dalits, squatters and unorganized residents, the nature of the land, area, valuation, period of population growth and whether or not houses are built in other urban areas. There are many open government lands that are not used for
but are currently written as forest and buttan. Therefore, since there is a risk of increasing misuse by re-mapping even the land that is not used as a forest area, amendments have been made to make it more clear. In their amendment proposal, only the land with land should be mapped while keeping the open areas other than land as it is .
"There are heaps of uncultivated and uncultivated open areas, re-mapping even the three is causing encroachment, so there is a demand that there should be a clear provision in the bill to prevent the mapping of such open areas," said Poudel.
Provinces also have authority in land management, land records, land policy and related laws and since the honorable Supreme Court has issued a directive in this regard, the Parliament has to coordinate and cooperate with the provinces to make laws, so the Prime Minister also demands to send the bill to the committee and start the discussion . However, a minister of the government said that the government is preparing to pass the bill directly from the parliament without going to the committee. "In the policy and program of the budget, it has been mentioned that the bill related to land will be passed in this session. When the discussion starts in the committee, there is no possibility that the bill will be passed in this session," said the minister, "The priority of the government is to pass it directly from the parliament." The ruling party, Janata Samajwadi Party, which is decisive in the National Assembly, refused to accept the land ordinance, and the ordinance was automatically rejected. The government registered the bill in the parliament on May 23 keeping the provisions of the ordinance.
