The Karnataka legislative assembly passed a land reforms
bill on Friday to make it easier to divert agricultural land for
commercial and industrial purposes while also introducing a
10 year deadline for industries to use land awarded to them
following conversion of agricultural land.
The Karnataka Land Reforms and Certain Other Law
(Amendment ) Bill 2014 introduced in the legislative
assembly by the revenue minister in the Congress
government Srinivas Prasad modified sections of the
Karnataka Land Reforms Act 1961 and the Karnataka Land
Revenue Act 1964 which mandated two separate permissions
for diverting agricultural land for non-agricultural purposes.
The Congress government has now modified section 109 of
the Karnataka Land Reforms Act 1961 in such a manner that
permission granted to acquire land for non agricultural
purposes under the law can also be deemed as a clearance
given under section 95 of the Karnataka Land Revenue Act
1964.
“Once the permission under section 109 of the Karnataka
Land Reform Act, 1961 is taken the permission under section
95 of the Karnataka Land Revenue Act, 1964 is deemed to
have been taken as the procedure under the two enactments
is similar but is time consuming as separate permission has
to be taken under each enactment which results in undue
delay,’’ the government has stated.
If the bill is enacted then industries and organizations will no
longer have to stand in line for clearances to use agricultural
land for commercial purposes under the Karnataka Land
Revenue Act if the government clears the purchase of the

agricultural land under the Karnataka Land Reforms Act.
Under the existing system private enterprises need to obtain
a separate clearance for usage of agricultural land even if
they have already been cleared by the government to
purchase the land.
The government also introduced modifications in the land
reforms act where private enterprises have to surrender
land granted to them at the end of a 10 year period if they
fail to utilize the land.
The decision on diverting land lying unused by industries to
a government land bank will be taken a high power
committee headed by the Chief Secretary under the modified
law.
In the course of the debate on the bill some Congress
members raised the issue of some persons who were granted
land for industrial purposes selling them to third parties for
a profit. The Sandur MLA E Tukaram said that former BJP
minister G Janardhan Reddy had diverted land allotted to
him in Bellary for a steel plant to a third party.
