While the government claims that the amendment will protect the traditional land tenure system from misuse, several key figures in Goa's comunidade system view the move with skepticism, calling it either unnecessary or ineffective.
Self-sufficiency of Comunidade code
A prominent comunidade leader, Andre Pereira sees the amendment as an act of "mischief-making," arguing that the existing Code of Comunidades already addresses the issue of land misuse through provisions that allow for forfeiture of land.
According to Pereira, Articles 371 and 372 of the Code provide sufficient legal avenues to address unauthorized land use, making any additional amendments redundant.
He emphasizes that the Code is self-contained and criticizes the government's motives, hinting that external influences may be at play.
Pereira's perspective raises a fundamental question about the need for such an amendment.
If existing laws already provide for the forfeiture of land in cases of misuse, then what gap is the proposed change seeking to fill?
