Secy, to the Govt. of India.

Reasons for the enactment

By the Proclamation dated the 10th September, 1964, issued by the

President under article 356 of the Constitution of India, the powers of

the Legislature of the State of Kerala were declared to be exercisable

by or under the authority of Parliament. By the Kerala State Legis-

lature (Delegation of Powers) Act, 1964 (30 of 1964), Parliament

conferred on the President the power of the Legislature of the said

State to make laws. By virtue of these powers, the President enacted

certain Acts for the State of Kerala.

2. The President's Proclamation dated the 10th September, 1964,

was revoked on the 24th March, 1965, by the Vice-President of India

discharging the functions of the President and therefore the Procla-

mation ceased to be in force on that date. Under article 357 (2) of the

Constitution, the laws made by the President which the President

would not, but for the issue of the Proclamation, have been competent

to make, shall, to the extent of the incompetency, cease to have effect

on the expiration of a period of one year after the Proclamation has

ceased to operate, unless the provisions which shall so cease to have

effect are sooner repealed or re-enacted by Act of the appropriate

Legislature. Therefore, the Acts enacted by the President for the

State of Kerala during the period of operation of the Proclamation

dated the 10th September, 1964, will cease to have effect after the

24th March, 1966, unless they are re-enacted. The present enactment

is intended for this purpose.

3. The Committee constituted under the proviso to sub-section

(2) of section 3 of the Kerala State Legislature (Delegation of

Powers) Act, 1965 (12 of 1965), has approved the enactment of this

measure as a President's Act.

Secretary to the Govt. of India,
