ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ACT, 1920 ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ACT, 1920 40 of 1920 Act 62 of 1951.- "The University Education Commission, while making certain recommendations in regard to University education generally, have also dealt with certain special problems relating to the Central Universities at Banaras, Aligarh and Delhi. These recommendations were generally approved by the Central Advisory Board of Education at their meeting in April, 1950. The Govern- ment of India, after careful consideration of the matter, have decided that while it is not necessary to change the names of the Banaras and Aligarh Universities the disqualifications imposed by the respective Acts on non-Hindus and non-Muslims being members of the Court of the University should be removed. They have also decided that other recommendations of the University Educa- tion Commission, in so far as they relate to the Central Universities, should be implemented as far as possible. It is, therefore, now proposed to amend the Aligarh Muslim University Act in order to give effect to those recommendations. 2.

Bengal Agricultural and Sanitary Improvement Act, 1920 Complete Act

State: West Bengal

Year: 1920

.....simple enough in the case of small schemes. The relevant sections of the Bengal Tenancy Act, even though coupled with the Land Improvements Loans Act, are practically inoperative; the application of the Bengal Embankment Act is necessarily limited. The procedure prescribed in the Bengal Drainage and the Bengal Sanitary Drainage Acts is more applicable to large schemes, whilst the Bengal Sanitary Drainage Act, as its name implies, cannot be utilised for purely agricultural projects. Moreover, even for large schemes, the procedure of these two Acts is unnecessarily rigid, cumbrous and dilatory. The Bengal Sanitary Drainage Act is the less elaborate of the two, but there are many matters in the Bengal Drainage Act which should be inserted in statutory rules rather than in the law. Neither Act contains provision for the execution of works initiated by private individuals or bodies of agriculturists registered under the Co-operative Societies Act, 1912 (2 of 1912). Finally the provisions of both Acts for the apportionment and recovery of costs are unnecessarily rigid. It'is, therefore, desired to consolidate and amend the Bengal Drainage Act and the Bengal Sanitary Drainage Act.....
