KHADC is scheduled introduce the Bill during its autumn session on Nov. 8
Political leaders and activists in matrilineal Meghalaya have advised the Khasi Hills Autonomous District Council (KHADC) to seek public opinion before tabling an inheritance Bill aimed at “equitable distribution of parental property among siblings”.
The KHADC is scheduled introduce the Khasi Hills Autonomous District Khasi Inheritance of Property Bill, 2021, during the autumn session of the council on November 8.
Congress veteran and leader of the Opposition in the KHADC, Pynshngainlang N. Syiem, said any new legislation dealing with customs and tradition should be placed in the public domain before it is introduced. He said he would suggest this to the council’s executive committee for inviting views of the people.
