(1) This Act may be called the Uttar Pradesh Revenue Code, 2006.
(2) It extends to the whole of Uttar Pradesh.
(3) It shall come into force on such date as the State Government may, by notification, appoint, and different dates may be appointed for different areas or for different provisions of this Code.
Statement Of Objects And Reasons At present as many as 39 Acts relating to revenue law are enforced in the State of Uttar Pradesh. Out of these Acts. Uttar Pradesh Zamindari Abolition and Land Reforms Act, 1950 and U.P. Land Revenue Act, 1901 arc the important Acts. Several enactments were enacted during the British regime. Most of the provisions of those have become obsolete. Some of the provisions of those enactments are inconsistent with each other. On account of different provisions in different enactments relating to revenue law. the revenue litigations have considerably increased. Consequently the revenue cases are pending for disposal for a very long period. Under these circumstances it has become necessary to consolidate with modifications of relevant provisions of all these enactments into single enactment. It has therefore, been decided to provide for consolidating and amending the laws relating to land-tenures and land revenue in the State and for matters connected therewith and incidental thereto. The U.P. Revenue Code Bill, 2006 has, therefore, been prepared to fulfil the above mentioned requirements.
The Uttar Pradesh Revenue Code Bill. 2006, is introduced accordingly.
Statement of Objects and Reasons - (U.P. Act 7 of 2019). The Uttar Pradesh Revenue Code, 2006 has been enacted to consolidate, and amend the law relating to land tenures and land revenue in the State of Uttar Pradesh. It was decided to amend the said Act with a view to facilitating the availability of land for industrialisation and agricultural development in the State of Uttar Pradesh, to authorise a bhumidhar or an asami to lease out his/ her holding or any part thereof to any person, firm, company, partnership firm, limited liability partnership firm, trust, society or any other legal entity for agriculture or for setting up a solar energy plant and for making changes in the subjects related to inheritance of land holders in the whole of the State.
In order to implement the aforesaid decision the Uttar Pradesh Revenue Code (Amendment) Bill, 2018 was introduced in, and passed by, the Uttar Pradesh State Legislature. The said Bill was reserved by the Governor for the consideration of the President and sent to the Government of India for obtaining the assent of the President thereon. The Government of India had suggested certain amendments in the Bill. After considering the suggestion of the Government of India it was decided that the said Bill should be withdrawn and in place thereof the Uttar Pradesh Revenue Code (Amendment) Bill, 2019 by incorporating the amendments suggested by the Government of India shall be introduced in the State Legislature.
Since the State Legislature was not in session and immediate legislative action was necessary to implement the aforesaid decision the Uttar Pradesh Revenue Code (Amendment) Ordinance, 2019 (U.P. Ordinance 2 of 2019) was promulgated by the Governor on March 10, 2019.
This Bill is introduced to replace the aforesaid Ordinance.
