Haryana Amends The Punjab New Capital (Periphery) Control Act in One Minute

Chandigarh (I-Haryana News): Haryana Vidhan Sabha on Tuesday passed The Punjab New Capital (Periphery) Control (Haryana Amendment) Bill, 2012 without any discussion or debate in one minute time.
 The Parliamentary affair Minister, Mr. Randeep Singh Surjewala  introduced the bill , The Punjab New Capital (Periphery) Control (Haryana Amendment) Bill, 2012 at  12.48pm and requested house to consider this bill for discussion and passage.

No members tried to speak on this all important bill effected development in Panchkula district especially, Village saketri  and Panchkula district in general, as this the district which  falls under The Punjab New Capital (Periphery) Control act and considered hot cake for big real estate developers which have direct interests in this district land.

The speaker was on seen on hurry to declare bill passed that it took hardly one minute to house to pass the bill as bill was declared passed by the Haryana assembly at 12.49pm exactly in duration of one minute. 

Intelligent Haryana News Investigation Says;

No debate or discussion were held in the house on this bill .It is mention that to pass the bill in ultra speed mode Minister asked the house to considered and pass the bill in at once, which usually assembly members allow this because most of MLAs consider their prime work, the legislative work as burden on them because they do not see their contributions in law making process.

The Punjab New Capital (Periphery) Control (Haryana Amendment) Bill, 2012 was all important bill as this was related to development In Haryana area near its capital Chandigarh.

It is to remember that two MLAs come from this district one from congress and one from INLD the congress Member did came forwarded to speak, whereas INLD MLA had already suspended for rest of sessio.
Objective of Bill ( now Act):

In year 2003, section 22 (aa) of Punjab Scheduled Roads and Controlled Areas Restriction of Unregulated Development Act, 1963 was inserted wherein area adjacent to the abadi deh of any village which Government identifies for village expansion through a notification to such effect was taken out from purview of the Act ibid. 

A limit of 60 per cent was imposed on such expansion of village abadi. While implementing the above referred provision, some practical difficulties came to the notice of the Government such as absence of rational criteria to fix boundary of extended village abadi (in view of aforesaid limit of 60 per cent) as most of the villages have expended beyond 60 per cent of their original abadi deh.

In fact, even unauthorised colonies in the vicinity of Lal Dora of the village abadi carved out in violation of provisions of Haryana Development and Regulation of Urban Areas Act, 1975, would also get de-facto regularised under the disguise of exemption under section 22 (aa) of Punjab Scheduled Roads and Controlled Areas Restriction of Unregulated Development Act, 1963.

In view of above facts and ground realities, purpose for which section 22(aa) was inserted in Punjab Scheduled Roads and Controlled Areas Restriction of Unregulated Development Act, 1963 is neither being served nor likely to be served in future. Even Revenue and Disaster Management Department, Haryana mentioned that the exemption from the Act ibid could have severe adverse implications resulting in unregulated structures coming up in the area. 

Moreover, implementation of this provision would create legal complications, resentment and likely to be misused, hence, this bill to repeal or omit section 22 (aa) of Punjab Scheduled Roads and Controlled Areas Restriction of Unregulated Development Act, 1963

 As far as amendment in Section 25 is concerned, the Department is levying conversion charges for commercial use for 150 FAR and also for 175 FAR. The practice in the Department is that notified conversion charges are taken in case of 150 FAR and for levying of conversion charges for 175 FAR additional 1/6th of notified conversion charges are taken. 

The Amendment in Section 25 (1) of Punjab Scheduled Roads and Controlled Areas Restriction of Unregulated Development Act, 1963 has been made to give it a statutory backing. The amendment would authorize Department to charge differential rates for FAR of 150 and 175 retrospectively.

The Punjab New Capital (Periphery) Control (Haryana Amendment) Bill, 2012 has been adopted to amend section 15 of the Punjab New Capital (Periphery) Control Act, 1952.
