&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Bhopal: &lt;/em&gt;The Madhya Pradesh government on Monday issued an ordinance to amend a law related to the ceiling on agricultural holdings, which will allow industrialists and private developers to easily purchase as much agricultural land as they want for non-agricultural activities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Madhya Pradesh Ceiling on Agricultural Holdings (Amendment) Ordinance, 2015 was notified a month after the special Assembly session concluded, and just two months before the monsoon session is scheduled to begin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The existing legislation &amp;mdash; the Madhya Pradesh Ceiling on Agricultural Holdings Act, 1960 &amp;mdash; required diversion of agriculture land for non-agriculture purpose before it could be purchased by private parties. The ordinance entails the buyer &amp;ldquo;to intimate in writing the competent authority within 90 days from the date of acquisition that he shall get his land diverted to non-agricultural purpose&amp;rdquo;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The buyer will have to get the land diverted in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Madhya Pradesh Land Revenue Code, 1959, within one year from the date of acquisition, and commence the proposed non-agricultural use of the land within three years from the date of diversion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ordinance, signed by Governor Ram Naresh Yadav, reads: &amp;ldquo;The state legislature is not in session and the Governor of Madhya Pradesh is satisfied that circumstances exist which render it necessary for him to take immediate action.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ordinance does not specify the existing ceiling on agricultural land which can be purchased. The amendment will come into force with retrospective effect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When contacted, the state&amp;rsquo;s parliamentary affairs minister and government spokesman Narottam Mishra said he was not aware of the ordinance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Commissioner of public relations, S K Mishra, who is also the CM&amp;rsquo;s principal secretary, said, &amp;ldquo;In these competitive times, when poaching of investment by states is common, we did not want to lose out. Earlier, industrialists could buy limited land and that too only after the farmer himself got it diverted. In the process, land cost would go up making the project unviable.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Asked about the retrospective clause, Mishra said, &amp;ldquo;Several industries have already purchased land and we wanted to legalise the purchase.&amp;rdquo; He said the government brought an ordinance since the next Assembly session is still a few months away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Leader of Opposition Satyadev Katare called the ordinance &amp;ldquo;illegal&amp;rdquo;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;By getting the ordinance issued, Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has engaged in one-upmanship with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who has found it difficult to get the Land Acquisition Bill passed,&amp;rdquo; he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He further asked why the ordinance was required when the monsoon session is scheduled to begin in July.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When he was told that the ordinance was signed by the Governor, a Congress leader, Katare said , &amp;ldquo;We can&amp;rsquo;t call him neutral.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A senior bureaucrat who did not wish to be named said the amendment was required because industrialists found it difficult to ensure diversion before acquisition since they were regularly harassed by revenue officials. However, he added that only the political leadership could explain the urgency behind issuing an ordinance.

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Bhopal: &lt;/em&gt;The Madhya Pradesh government on Monday issued an ordinance to amend a law related to the ceiling on agricultural holdings, which will allow industrialists and private developers to easily purchase as much agricultural land as they want for non-agricultural activities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Madhya Pradesh Ceiling on Agricultural Holdings (Amendment) Ordinance, 2015 was notified a month after the special Assembly session concluded, and just two months before the monsoon session is scheduled to begin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The existing legislation &amp;mdash; the Madhya Pradesh Ceiling on Agricultural Holdings Act, 1960 &amp;mdash; required diversion of agriculture land for non-agriculture purpose before it could be purchased by private parties. The ordinance entails the buyer &amp;ldquo;to intimate in writing the competent authority within 90 days from the date of acquisition that he shall get his land diverted to non-agricultural purpose&amp;rdquo;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The buyer will have to get the land diverted in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Madhya Pradesh Land Revenue Code, 1959, within one year from the date of acquisition, and commence the proposed non-agricultural use of the land within three years from the date of diversion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ordinance, signed by Governor Ram Naresh Yadav, reads: &amp;ldquo;The state legislature is not in session and the Governor of Madhya Pradesh is satisfied that circumstances exist which render it necessary for him to take immediate action.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ordinance does not specify the existing ceiling on agricultural land which can be purchased. The amendment will come into force with retrospective effect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When contacted, the state&amp;rsquo;s parliamentary affairs minister and government spokesman Narottam Mishra said he was not aware of the ordinance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Commissioner of public relations, S K Mishra, who is also the CM&amp;rsquo;s principal secretary, said, &amp;ldquo;In these competitive times, when poaching of investment by states is common, we did not want to lose out. Earlier, industrialists could buy limited land and that too only after the farmer himself got it diverted. In the process, land cost would go up making the project unviable.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Asked about the retrospective clause, Mishra said, &amp;ldquo;Several industries have already purchased land and we wanted to legalise the purchase.&amp;rdquo; He said the government brought an ordinance since the next Assembly session is still a few months away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Leader of Opposition Satyadev Katare called the ordinance &amp;ldquo;illegal&amp;rdquo;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;By getting the ordinance issued, Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has engaged in one-upmanship with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who has found it difficult to get the Land Acquisition Bill passed,&amp;rdquo; he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He further asked why the ordinance was required when the monsoon session is scheduled to begin in July.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When he was told that the ordinance was signed by the Governor, a Congress leader, Katare said , &amp;ldquo;We can&amp;rsquo;t call him neutral.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A senior bureaucrat who did not wish to be named said the amendment was required because industrialists found it difficult to ensure diversion before acquisition since they were regularly harassed by revenue officials. However, he added that only the political leadership could explain the urgency behind issuing an ordinance.

The existing legislation &amp;mdash; the Madhya Pradesh Ceiling on Agricultural Holdings Act, 1960 &amp;mdash; required diversion of agriculture land for non-agriculture purpose before it could be purchased by private parties. The ordinance entails the buyer &amp;ldquo;to intimate in writing the competent authority within 90 days from the date of acquisition that he shall get his land diverted to non-agricultural purpose&amp;rdquo;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The buyer will have to get the land diverted in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Madhya Pradesh Land Revenue Code, 1959, within one year from the date of acquisition, and commence the proposed non-agricultural use of the land within three years from the date of diversion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ordinance, signed by Governor Ram Naresh Yadav, reads: &amp;ldquo;The state legislature is not in session and the Governor of Madhya Pradesh is satisfied that circumstances exist which render it necessary for him to take immediate action.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ordinance does not specify the existing ceiling on agricultural land which can be purchased. The amendment will come into force with retrospective effect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When contacted, the state&amp;rsquo;s parliamentary affairs minister and government spokesman Narottam Mishra said he was not aware of the ordinance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Commissioner of public relations, S K Mishra, who is also the CM&amp;rsquo;s principal secretary, said, &amp;ldquo;In these competitive times, when poaching of investment by states is common, we did not want to lose out. Earlier, industrialists could buy limited land and that too only after the farmer himself got it diverted. In the process, land cost would go up making the project unviable.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Asked about the retrospective clause, Mishra said, &amp;ldquo;Several industries have already purchased land and we wanted to legalise the purchase.&amp;rdquo; He said the government brought an ordinance since the next Assembly session is still a few months away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Leader of Opposition Satyadev Katare called the ordinance &amp;ldquo;illegal&amp;rdquo;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;By getting the ordinance issued, Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has engaged in one-upmanship with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who has found it difficult to get the Land Acquisition Bill passed,&amp;rdquo; he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He further asked why the ordinance was required when the monsoon session is scheduled to begin in July.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When he was told that the ordinance was signed by the Governor, a Congress leader, Katare said , &amp;ldquo;We can&amp;rsquo;t call him neutral.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A senior bureaucrat who did not wish to be named said the amendment was required because industrialists found it difficult to ensure diversion before acquisition since they were regularly harassed by revenue officials. However, he added that only the political leadership could explain the urgency behind issuing an ordinance.

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Bhopal: &lt;/em&gt;The Madhya Pradesh government on Monday issued an ordinance to amend a law related to the ceiling on agricultural holdings, which will allow industrialists and private developers to easily purchase as much agricultural land as they want for non-agricultural activities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Madhya Pradesh Ceiling on Agricultural Holdings (Amendment) Ordinance, 2015 was notified a month after the special Assembly session concluded, and just two months before the monsoon session is scheduled to begin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The existing legislation &amp;mdash; the Madhya Pradesh Ceiling on Agricultural Holdings Act, 1960 &amp;mdash; required diversion of agriculture land for non-agriculture purpose before it could be purchased by private parties. The ordinance entails the buyer &amp;ldquo;to intimate in writing the competent authority within 90 days from the date of acquisition that he shall get his land diverted to non-agricultural purpose&amp;rdquo;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The buyer will have to get the land diverted in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Madhya Pradesh Land Revenue Code, 1959, within one year from the date of acquisition, and commence the proposed non-agricultural use of the land within three years from the date of diversion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ordinance, signed by Governor Ram Naresh Yadav, reads: &amp;ldquo;The state legislature is not in session and the Governor of Madhya Pradesh is satisfied that circumstances exist which render it necessary for him to take immediate action.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ordinance does not specify the existing ceiling on agricultural land which can be purchased. The amendment will come into force with retrospective effect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When contacted, the state&amp;rsquo;s parliamentary affairs minister and government spokesman Narottam Mishra said he was not aware of the ordinance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Commissioner of public relations, S K Mishra, who is also the CM&amp;rsquo;s principal secretary, said, &amp;ldquo;In these competitive times, when poaching of investment by states is common, we did not want to lose out. Earlier, industrialists could buy limited land and that too only after the farmer himself got it diverted. In the process, land cost would go up making the project unviable.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Asked about the retrospective clause, Mishra said, &amp;ldquo;Several industries have already purchased land and we wanted to legalise the purchase.&amp;rdquo; He said the government brought an ordinance since the next Assembly session is still a few months away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Leader of Opposition Satyadev Katare called the ordinance &amp;ldquo;illegal&amp;rdquo;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;By getting the ordinance issued, Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has engaged in one-upmanship with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who has found it difficult to get the Land Acquisition Bill passed,&amp;rdquo; he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He further asked why the ordinance was required when the monsoon session is scheduled to begin in July.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When he was told that the ordinance was signed by the Governor, a Congress leader, Katare said , &amp;ldquo;We can&amp;rsquo;t call him neutral.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A senior bureaucrat who did not wish to be named said the amendment was required because industrialists found it difficult to ensure diversion before acquisition since they were regularly harassed by revenue officials. However, he added that only the political leadership could explain the urgency behind issuing an ordinance.

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Bhopal: &lt;/em&gt;The Madhya Pradesh government on Monday issued an ordinance to amend a law related to the ceiling on agricultural holdings, which will allow industrialists and private developers to easily purchase as much agricultural land as they want for non-agricultural activities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Madhya Pradesh Ceiling on Agricultural Holdings (Amendment) Ordinance, 2015 was notified a month after the special Assembly session concluded, and just two months before the monsoon session is scheduled to begin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The existing legislation &amp;mdash; the Madhya Pradesh Ceiling on Agricultural Holdings Act, 1960 &amp;mdash; required diversion of agriculture land for non-agriculture purpose before it could be purchased by private parties. The ordinance entails the buyer &amp;ldquo;to intimate in writing the competent authority within 90 days from the date of acquisition that he shall get his land diverted to non-agricultural purpose&amp;rdquo;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The buyer will have to get the land diverted in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Madhya Pradesh Land Revenue Code, 1959, within one year from the date of acquisition, and commence the proposed non-agricultural use of the land within three years from the date of diversion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ordinance, signed by Governor Ram Naresh Yadav, reads: &amp;ldquo;The state legislature is not in session and the Governor of Madhya Pradesh is satisfied that circumstances exist which render it necessary for him to take immediate action.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ordinance does not specify the existing ceiling on agricultural land which can be purchased. The amendment will come into force with retrospective effect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When contacted, the state&amp;rsquo;s parliamentary affairs minister and government spokesman Narottam Mishra said he was not aware of the ordinance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Commissioner of public relations, S K Mishra, who is also the CM&amp;rsquo;s principal secretary, said, &amp;ldquo;In these competitive times, when poaching of investment by states is common, we did not want to lose out. Earlier, industrialists could buy limited land and that too only after the farmer himself got it diverted. In the process, land cost would go up making the project unviable.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;

<br />
<em>Bhopal: </em>The Madhya Pradesh government on Monday issued an ordinance to amend a law related to the ceiling on agricultural holdings, which will allow industrialists and private developers to easily purchase as much agricultural land as they want for non-agricultural activities.<br />
<br />
The Madhya Pradesh Ceiling on Agricultural Holdings (Amendment) Ordinance, 2015 was notified a month after the special Assembly session concluded, and just two months before the monsoon session is scheduled to begin.<br />
<br />
The existing legislation &mdash; the Madhya Pradesh Ceiling on Agricultural Holdings Act, 1960 &mdash; required diversion of agriculture land for non-agriculture purpose before it could be purchased by private parties. The ordinance entails the buyer &ldquo;to intimate in writing the competent authority within 90 days from the date of acquisition that he shall get his land diverted to non-agricultural purpose&rdquo;.<br />
<br />
The buyer will have to get the land diverted in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Madhya Pradesh Land Revenue Code, 1959, within one year from the date of acquisition, and commence the proposed non-agricultural use of the land within three years from the date of diversion.<br />
<br />
The ordinance, signed by Governor Ram Naresh Yadav, reads: &ldquo;The state legislature is not in session and the Governor of Madhya Pradesh is satisfied that circumstances exist which render it necessary for him to take immediate action.&rdquo;<br />
<br />
The ordinance does not specify the existing ceiling on agricultural land which can be purchased. The amendment will come into force with retrospective effect.<br />
<br />
When contacted, the state&rsquo;s parliamentary affairs minister and government spokesman Narottam Mishra said he was not aware of the ordinance.<br />
<br />
Commissioner of public relations, S K Mishra, who is also the CM&rsquo;s principal secretary, said, &ldquo;In these competitive times, when poaching of investment by states is common, we did not want to lose out. Earlier, industrialists could buy limited land and that too only after the farmer himself got it diverted. In the process, land cost would go up making the project unviable.&rdquo;<br />
<br />
Asked about the retrospective clause, Mishra said, &ldquo;Several industries have already purchased land and we wanted to legalise the purchase.&rdquo; He said the government brought an ordinance since the next Assembly session is still a few months away.<br />
<br />
Leader of Opposition Satyadev Katare called the ordinance &ldquo;illegal&rdquo;.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;By getting the ordinance issued, Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has engaged in one-upmanship with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who has found it difficult to get the Land Acquisition Bill passed,&rdquo; he said.<br />
<br />
He further asked why the ordinance was required when the monsoon session is scheduled to begin in July.<br />
<br />
When he was told that the ordinance was signed by the Governor, a Congress leader, Katare said , &ldquo;We can&rsquo;t call him neutral.&rdquo;<br />
<br />
A senior bureaucrat who did not wish to be named said the amendment was required because industrialists found it difficult to ensure diversion before acquisition since they were regularly harassed by revenue officials. However, he added that only the political leadership could explain the urgency behind issuing an ordinance.

Madhya Pradesh brings ordinance to ease buying of farm land by private players -Milind Ghatwai

-The Indian Express Bhopal: The Madhya Pradesh government on Monday issued an ordinance to amend a law related to the ceiling on agricultural holdings, which will allow industrialists and private developers to easily purchase as much agricultural land as they want for non-agricultural activities. The Madhya Pradesh Ceiling on Agricultural Holdings (Amendment) Ordinance, 2015 was notified a month after the special Assembly session concluded, and just two months before the monsoon session is scheduled to begin. The existing legislation — the Madhya Pradesh Ceiling on Agricultural Holdings Act, 1960 — required diversion of agriculture land for non-agriculture purpose before it could be purchased by private parties. The ordinance entails the buyer “to intimate in writing the competent authority within 90 days from the date of acquisition that he shall get his land diverted to non-agricultural purpose”. The buyer will have to get the land diverted in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Madhya Pradesh Land Revenue Code, 1959, within one year from the date of acquisition, and commence the proposed non-agricultural use of the land within three years from the date of diversion. The ordinance, signed by Governor Ram Naresh Yadav, reads: “The state legislature is not in session and the Governor of Madhya Pradesh is satisfied that circumstances exist which render it necessary for him to take immediate action.” The ordinance does not specify the existing ceiling on agricultural land which can be purchased. The amendment will come into force with retrospective effect. When contacted, the state’s parliamentary affairs minister and government spokesman Narottam Mishra said he was not aware of the ordinance. Commissioner of public relations, S K Mishra, who is also the CM’s principal secretary, said, “In these competitive times, when poaching of investment by states is common, we did not want to lose out. Earlier, industrialists could buy limited land and that too only after the farmer himself got it diverted. In the process, land cost would go up making the project unviable.” Asked about the retrospective clause, Mishra said, “Several industries have already purchased land and we wanted to legalise the purchase.” He said the government brought an ordinance since the next Assembly session is still a few months away. Leader of Opposition Satyadev Katare called the ordinance “illegal”. “By getting the ordinance issued, Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has engaged in one-upmanship with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who has found it difficult to get the Land Acquisition Bill passed,” he said. He further asked why the ordinance was required when the monsoon session is scheduled to begin in July. When he was told that the ordinance was signed by the Governor, a Congress leader, Katare said , “We can’t call him neutral.” A senior bureaucrat who did not wish to be named said the amendment was required because industrialists found it difficult to ensure diversion before acquisition since they were regularly harassed by revenue officials. However, he added that only the political leadership could explain the urgency behind issuing an ordinance.
