Year: 1958

.....Monuments Preservation Act, 1904, and the Ancient and Historical Monuments and Archaeological Sites and Remains (Declaration of National Importance) Act, 1951. The Act of 1951 merely declares certain monuments, etc., to be of national importance and the Act of 1904 applies also to such monuments. While the Constitution has distributed the subject-matter under three different heads the Act of 1904 governs all ancient monuments whether falling in the Central field or the State field, and vests all executive power in the Central Government. The position of the existing law relating to ancient monuments is far from satisfactory. The present Bill purports to be a self contained law at the Centre which will apply exclusively to ancient monument, etc., of national importance falling under Entry 67 of List I and to archaeological sites and remains falling under Entry 40 in the Concurrent List. Simultaneously, the State Governments would be advised to enact a similar law in respect of ancient monuments, etc., falling under Entry 12 in the State List. In this manner, the Central and State fields will be clearly demarcated and the existing confusion and overlapping of jurisdiction arising.....
