President's Assent To Control Of National Highways (Land And Traffic) Bill
New Delhi: January 20, 2003 The President has given his assent to the Control of National Highways (Land and Traffic) Bill, 2002. With this, the Bill, passed during the Winter Session of Parliament ending December 20, 2002, has been notified in the Gazette of India as Act No 13 of the year 2003. The Control of National Highways (Land and Traffic) Act, 2003, seeks to regulate traffic as well as the right of way on the National Highways. It seeks to establish Highway Administrations and authorize its officers to enforce the provisions of the Act and establish Tribunals for hearing appeals against the orders of the Highway Administrations and their authorized officers. It also provides for prevention of unauthorized occupation of highway land and removal of such encroachment, control of access points to the National Highways, regulation of different types of traffic permitted on the National Highways, control of use of road land for public utilities and drains besides issue of licenses or lease deeds for temporary use of the National Highways. The provisions of the Act will be enforced from a date to be notified by the Government in the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways. At present, the National Highways are governed by the National Highways Act, 1956 and the National Highways Authority of India Act, 1988. However, these enactments do not give powers to the Central Government to prevent or remove encroachments on land under the National Highways, or to restrict access to them from the adjacent land, or to regulate traffic movement of any category of vehicles or animals on the National Highways. As the provisions of the existing two laws and the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 have not proved effective in view of dilatory tactics adopted by the private parties, the Control of National Highways (Land and Traffic) Act, 2003 is intended to deal effectively with such problems. This Act confers necessary powers on the Central Government through the Highway Administrations. Press Release by: PIB/MYS: NC: 20.1.2003
