.....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 from the Act of 1904 will be eliminated. 2.

Some of the important new provisions are as follows: (a) The Act of 1904 confers wide powers upon Collectors. In the interests of uniformity and integrated policy, it is proposed to transfer some of these functions to the.....
