    "content": "recommendations. I can see a lot of sense and the mischief that the Government is trying to cure by making this proposal. However, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, some of the amendments that are being proposed are not clear in my mind. For example, when the Bill wants to amend the Land Act and restricts courts from issuing orders against the forfeiture of land leased or licensed from the Government, where a tenant or licensee has initially defaulted in paying rents and the land is required for public use. Under international law, the reason we give the judiciary the place of pride and prominence in our Constitution is that we recognize that at any given time, there will be moments where there will be disputes between either the public or Republic versus certain sections of the society. If we now legislate and say that there are things which the courts of law cannot issue directives on, it is not very clear to me if we are doing the right thing."
