Gujarat government to amend land grabbing laws through ordinance

After receiving complaints about the recently enacted anti-land grabbing laws and looking at the flurry of petitions in theGujarat challenging various provisions, the State Government is likely to soon come out with an ordinance to rectify lacunae in the law.

The law has been under question for various reasons, mainly for unsettling settled disputes by its overriding effect on pending civil disputes and decrees of civil courts. The lawyers termed this law draconian and submitted how Gujarat has adopted few safeguards compared to other states.
