Executive Summary:** This report analyzes an amendment to the Government of India, Ministry of Textiles Notification No. S.O. 644(E) dated 29th January, 1983, concerning the eviction of unauthorized occupants from public premises. The amendment, documented in Notification S.O. 190(E) dated January 13, 2021, substitutes the original "Table" defining the "Designation of Officers," "Categories of Public Premises," and "local limits of Jurisdiction." The key finding is a change in the designated officer responsible for premises under the administrative control of specific textile corporations, potentially streamlining eviction processes. **2. Introduction:** The purpose of this report is to provide an informative analysis of the amendment to the Ministry of Textiles Notification No. S.O. 644(E) as documented in notification S.O. 190(E) dated January 13, 2021. This analysis is based solely on the text of the provided notification. **3. Policy Overview:** This report concerns an amendment to the original policy established by the Ministry of Textiles Notification No. S.O. 644(E) dated 29th January, 1983, which concerns the eviction of unauthorized occupants from public premises as per the Public Premises (Eviction of Unauthorised Occupants) Act, 1971. The core objective of the original policy, as inferred from the context of this amendment, is to define the responsible officers, categories of premises covered and their jurisdiction for enforcing the eviction of unauthorized occupants from public premises under the administrative control of the Ministry of Textiles. **4. Background and Rationale:** This amendment appears to be implemented to update the designated officers responsible for public premises eviction under the Ministry of Textiles' administration. The amendment likely addresses a need for revised or more efficient management of public premises and eviction processes, possibly due to changes in personnel or organizational structure within the Ministry. **5. Key Provisions / Changes:** This amendment substitutes the "Table" within the original S.O. 644(E) notification. Specifically, the changes involve: * **Original Policy Part Affected:** The "Table" within the original notification S.O. 644(E) which defined the Designation of Officers, Categories of Public Premises and local limits of Jurisdiction. * **New Rule/Provision:** The amendment introduces a new "Table" assigning eviction responsibility for specific public premises to "Shri Anil Kumar, Under Secretary, Ministry of Textiles, Govt. of India Udyog Bhawan, New Delhi" for: * Premises under the administrative control of British India Corporation Limited, Head Office, Kanpur Uttar Pradesh * Premises under the administrative control of Cawnpore Woollen Mills at Kanpur Uttar Pradesh * Premises under the administrative control of Egerton Woollen Mills, at Dhariwal Punjab * **Difference/Effect of the Change:** This change centralizes the responsibility for premises under the administrative control of the corporations listed above to a single Under Secretary, Shri Anil Kumar, replacing potentially different or outdated assignments from the original policy. This may aim to streamline the eviction process by concentrating authority. **6. Target Audience and Stakeholders:** The primary stakeholders affected by this change are likely: * The textile corporations mentioned (British India Corporation Limited, Cawnpore Woollen Mills, and Egerton Woollen Mills). * Unauthorized occupants of premises under the administrative control of these corporations. * Ministry of Textiles personnel involved in the administration and management of these properties. * Shri Anil Kumar, the newly designated Under Secretary. **7. Implementation Aspects (Inferred):** * **Responsible Agency/Bodies:** The Ministry of Textiles, specifically the designated Under Secretary (Shri Anil Kumar), is responsible for implementing the amended provisions. * **Timelines/Procedures:** The notification is effective from the date of publication (January 15, 2021). However, specific timelines or procedures for eviction are not detailed within the text itself and would likely be governed by the Public Premises (Eviction of Unauthorised Occupants) Act, 1971. * This amendment necessitates updating internal records and communication channels within the Ministry of Textiles and the affected textile corporations to reflect the new assignment of responsibilities. **8. Expected Outcomes / Impact of Changes:** The likely intended outcomes of this amendment are: * More efficient and streamlined eviction processes for unauthorized occupants of public premises managed by the specified textile corporations. * Clearer lines of responsibility for eviction actions, potentially reducing bureaucratic delays. * Improved management and control over public premises under the Ministry of Textiles. * The change of the responsible officer to Shri Anil Kumar may suggest a change in internal structure within the ministry to centralize premises eviction administration. **9. Conclusion:** The amendment to Notification No. S.O. 644(E) through Notification S.O. 190(E) signifies a revision to the designated officers responsible for the eviction of unauthorized occupants from specific public premises under the Ministry of Textiles. This change potentially streamlines the eviction process and improves management of public premises. Further analysis would require access to the original policy and related implementation guidelines to provide a more comprehensive assessment.
