STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS
Consequent on the Proclamation issued under article 356 of the Constitution of India , President's Rule was enforced in the State of Jharkhand with effect from the 19th January. 2009. The President's Rule was extended by six months with effect from the 19th July, 2009 to 18th January, 2010. Accordingly, the powers of the Legislature of the State of Jharkhand are exercisable by or under the authority of Parliament .
2.As per Chapter II, section 4 of the Jharkhand Contingency Fund Act, 2001 ( Jharkhand Act 9 of 2001 ) , a sum of rupees one hundred and fifty crore shall be made available in the Contingency Fund of the State . As the State was facing a severe drought, the State Government required additional funds for providing relief in the drought affected areas . These additional requirements could not be met from the existing budgetary provisions for 2009-10 . The total requirements exceeded the corpus of rupees one hundred and fifty crore available in the Contingency Fund of the State .
3. Since the Parliament was not in session and circumstances existed which rendered it necessary for temporary enhancement of the ceiling of the Jharkhand Contingency Fund from rupees one hundred and fifty crore to rupees five hundred crore for the financial year 2009-10 to carry out drought relief work in the State , the Cabinet had recommended to the President to promulgate an Ordinance in this regard on the 15th October, 2009. Hence , the President promulgated the Jharkhand Contingency Fund (Amendment ) Ordinance , 2009 (Ord. 7 of 2009) on the 20th October, 2009 .
4. The Bill seeks to replace the Jharkhand Contingency Fund (Amendment) Ordinance, 2009 .
