The land acquisition ordinance, which the government could not get
converted into a legislation in Rajya Sabha due to stiff opposition, was
on Friday re-promulgated, a day before it is to lapse.
President Pranab Mukherjee has signed the ordinance as recommended by the union cabinet on March 31, 2015official sources said.
The earlier ordinance is to lapse tomorrow as it has not been converted into a legislation during the first part of the budget session as required under the Constitution.
The fresh ordinance, which is the 11th by the Narendra Modi government, incorporates nine amendments that were part of the bill passed in Lok Sabha last month.
It is pending before the Rajya Sabha where the ruling NDA coalition lacks the numbers to get it passed.
Note
To enable re-promulgation of the ordinance, the NDA Government last week got the Rajya Sabha prorogued(discontinue session)
Under the Constitution at least one of the Houses has to be prorogued for Government to issue an ordinance. Parliament is currently on a month-long recess after the Budget session started on February 23.
The land ordinance was among the six executive orders issued by the government in the inter session period. While five of them were cleared by Parliament, the land measure is stuck.
