Gandhinagar, May 6 (PTI) The revenue department in Gujarat on Wednesday said it was working towards implementing the concept of “One State, One Act, One Rule” to bring transparency in the administrative processes and simplify complex laws.
A special session was held as part of the revenue department’s ‘Chintan Shibir’ (brainstorming session) to discuss ‘One State, One Act, One Rule’ with a focus on land reforms and legal simplification, state officials said.
Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel inaugurated a three-day Chintan Shibir of the state government’s revenue department on Tuesday.
On the second day of the session on Wednesday, discussions were held on simplifying the revenue laws based on the recommendations of C L Meena committee and J K Astik committee.
The revenue department noted that it is working towards implementing ‘One State, One Act, One Rule’, an official release said.
Earlier, the government had constituted the two committees to suggest measures to simplify the revenue laws. After thorough study, both committees submitted their reports and detailed recommendations to the government, it added.
During the special session, officials engaged in detailed discussions on these recommendations.
“The recommendations include reviewing outdated and irrelevant revenue laws, rules, and circulars; repealing unnecessary laws; replacing those requiring amendments with a single modern and integrated law; and implementing a comprehensive and clear resolution in place of numerous old government resolutions,” the release said.
The government said efforts are underway to transform various complex land revenue laws into a single integrated framework, which will bring clarity, simplicity and uniformity to the administrative system.
This will eliminate misunderstandings in the interpretation of laws and significantly reduce long-pending revenue disputes and litigation, the release stated, adding that it will become more transparent for both citizens and officials. PTI KVM PD NP
