Exchange of Enclaves

182. The progress made in the direction of administrative unification of India rendered it possible to deal with the problem of the territorial enclaves. The existence of numerous small enclaves of States in Provincial territories and vice versa and of one State in the other, led to serious administrative difficulties specially in regard to the maintenance of law and order and the administration of various control measures in force in the Provinces and States concerned. In the interest of administrative efficiency it was considered essential that these small enclaves should be immediately merged in the Provinces/States in which they were situated and it was decided to effect the necessary territorial readjustments under the provisions of Sections 290, 290A and 290B of the Government of India Act, 1935.

Proposals for transfer and exchange were discussed in regional meetings of Governments of Provinces and States held for this purpose in Delhi. In most cases agreed settlements were reached in these meetings. In the remaining few cases tentative conclusions reached by the States Ministry after careful consideration of all the factors involved, were communicated to the Governments of Provinces and States concerned. These were finalised after further discussions between the Governments concerned and with the States Ministry. In a few cases certain small islands have not been transferred to the Province or State in which they are situated either because their assets would be materially diminished by such transfer or for other important administrative reasons. Large blocks of territories, even though forming enclaves of one unit in another, have not been exchanged or transferred.

The final decisions reached were implemented by means of two Orders (Appendices LI & LII) issued by the Governor-General and an Agreement (Appendix LIII) concluded between the Rajpramukhs of Madhya Bharat and Rajasthan with the approval of the Government of India. The two Orders are (1) The Provinces and States (Absorption of Enclaves) ​Order, 1550 and (2) The India and Hyderabad (Exchange of Enclaves) Order, 1950. The main provisions of these orders are that the enclaves will form part of the absorbing units, the laws of the surrendering units will be replaced by those of the absorbing units and the properties and assets as well as rights, obligations and liabilities in respect of the enclaves will pass on to the Government of the absorbing unit.
