.....spoliation, disfigurement, destruction, removal, disposal or export." 2. The present position is that in this State the Hyderabad area has a special Act viz. Hyderabad Act VIII of 1337 Fasli in respect of monuments not declared to be of national importance. In the rest of the State the subject is governed by the Central Act of 1994. In the last Act all executive power vests in the Central Government. Again, the Union Government in 1951 declared certain monuments to be of national importance by Act LXXI of 1951. Thereafter, very recently by Act XXIV of 1958 a declaration of monuments of national importance was again made, and the 1951 Act replaced. It is obviously desirable now to have a self-contained Act in respect of those matters which relate to the ancient and historical monuments and archaeological sites and remains not covered by the Central field, and also to unify the existing laws on the subject in this State. The Bill attempts to achieve this purpose. For Statement of Objects and Reasons, see Maharashtra Government Gazette, 1960. Part V, page 90, 3. Important clauses of the Bill are explained below:- Clause 2. - The definitions of "ancient and historical monuments".....
