President Ram Nath Kovind has cleared the Karnataka Land Reforms (Amendment) Bill, 2016 that seeks to regularise property ownership for agricultural labourers in hamlets.
Law and Parlimentary Affairs Minister T.B. Jayachandra told presspersons on Wednesday that the Bill — passed by the State legislature — was important since it provides vesting of land ownership to those occupying government and private lands in hamlets. “We wanted to ensure that there are no legal hurdles and it was referred to the President through the Governor.” Among others, Bills on reservation in promotions, anti-superstition Bill and private hospitals regulation will be placed at the winter session next month.
