Sirs,
Sub:- Restrictions regarding grant of land in and around big cities for agricultural and non-agricultural purposes.
Ref:- Govt. Letter no. RD 113 GNA 70 dated 27-7-1970.
The Karnataka Land Grant Rules, 1969, impose certain restrictions on the disposal of lands in and around big cities. Notwithstanding this prohibition, recommendations are made for grant of lands relaxing the rules. The intention of prohibit-ing the assignment of lands within certain limits of big cities is to have a planned development of the city and to reserve lands required for Government and public purposes. Government, therefore direct that proposals for assignment of lands within the prohibited areas should not be sent to Government for assignment in relaxation of rules hereafter. The Deputy Commissioners may be directed to list out the available Government lands in and around big cities and send the list to Government for reference. After preparing such a list, the land use as per the outline development plan if any will have to be ascertained from the Town Planning Authority concerned, and Government addressed to transfer all Government lands in the Industrial Zone to the Karnataka Industrial Area Development Board and lands in residential zones will have to be made available to the Municipality/Corporation after reserving extents earmarked for Government Offices and quarters. This will have to be done expeditiously to avoid further deviation in the use of the lands for any other purpose.
If any of the area within the prohibited limits is under u-nauthorised occupation and applications for regularisation of the same u-nder the 1970 Rules are pending before the local Officers, they may be directed to dispose off the same expeditiously and pass final orders rejecting the confirmation so that the legal action can be taken to evict them from such lands.
Yours faithfully,
