STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS
Under section 18A of the Industries ( Development and Regula- tion) Act , 1951 , the Central Government is empowered to assume , by a notified order , management or control of an industrial undertaking under certain circumstances . Under sub - section ( 2 ) of that section , the notified order may have effect for a maximum period of five years . This period of five year limit may , however , be extended under the proviso to that sub - section but such extension may be given only once . No further extension appears to be permissible under the proviso .
2. The working of the Act has revealed that it is extremely diffi- cult to anticipate , at the outset , the period for which the control or management of an industrial undertaking should be assumed . At the same time , such control or management should not be assumed for a period longer than necessary and it would therefore be undesirable to specify initially an unduly long period for the purpose . The Central Government should therefore have power to extend the five year limit by short periods only at a time , in order that it may have an opportunity of reviewing at reasonable intervals the question whether the purpose of the order made under section 18A has been fulfilled.
3. It is therefore proposed that the period of extension under the proviso should not exceed two years at a time and the total period of such extension should in no case exceed ten years . The Bill seeks to achieve this object .
