Q:On Tuesday, a number of states are expected to express their views on the contentious Enemy Property (Amendment and Validation) Bill, 2016 at a Select Committee meeting of the Rajya Sabha.
Latest Answer: The 1968 Act regulates these enemy properties and lists the powers of the Custodian. The panel had earlier called Chief Secretaries of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Uttarakhand and Delhi, but most of the states had sent junior officers while some sent only their Resident Commissioners based in Delhi, to which the panel members had taken strong objection.
