How can Government Departments afford to show less than required seriousness in framing Rules of Acts in respect of important legislations passed under Governor’s rule since the powers of such passing of legislation is vested with the Governor under Proclamation dated June 20, 2018. If legislations are there but Rules are not framed for effective implementation, the very purpose of such legislations is defeated.
It is only when exigencies arise in the public interest that the Governor enacts new Acts or carries out certain amendments in the existing Acts, again in public interest which should be followed and implemented in letter and spirit by means of proceeding ahead with the remaining task of framing Rules. For bringing about certain desired changes in the administrative set up, pleas are often taken that there were not enough provisions or Rules for that and when that requirement is desired to be met by enacting necessary Acts and carrying out amendments, then rules are not framed and implementation suffers badly. In either case, non performance and non seriousness are manifest which cannot be justified or continued to be allowed.
It may be appreciated that Rules help govern a law and they are precisely made to make the parent Act work. In addition to it, it is only Rules that provide for the details which are not provided for in the Act. We feel that the General Administration Department in tandem with Law Department would ensure that the concerned Departments prepared draft Rules in respect of the Acts enacted by the Governor with effect from June 20, 2018 till date and then submit the same to the Department of Law and Justice for vetting to enable them approve the same and make necessary notifications so that the real purpose of the legislation was achieved.
