before any court or other authority on the ground only of the cesser of operation of the said Ordinance .

Reasons for the enactment
The Punjab State Faculty of Ayurvedic and Unani Systems of Medicine Act , 1963 , as originally enacted , provided that the Director of Research and Medical Education , Punjab , shall be the Chairman of the Faculty . Consequent on the surrender in 1964 of the post of Director of Research and Medical Education as an economy measure , the functions of the Chairman of the Faculty came to be exercised by the Director , Health Services , Punjab , from the 21st November, 1964, though this was not permissible under the Act . To remedy this defect , the Punjab State Faculty of Ayurvedic and Unani Systems of Medicine ( Amendment and Validation ) Ordinance , 1966 , was promul- gated by the Governor of Punjab . The opportunity was also taken to remedy , by making a suitable provision in the Ordinance , another defect in the Act , namely , the absence of a provision empowering the Faculty to levy fees in connection with the examinations conducted by it.
2. Due to pressure of Parliamentary work and other reasons , the Ordinance could not be replaced by a Parliamentary enactment and thus , the Ordinance expired on the 4th September , 1966. The present Bill, while incorporating the amendments to the principal Act con- tained in the Ordinance , makes the necessary validation provision to remove any scope for challenge of the acts and proceedings of the Faculty on the ground of the cesser of operation of the Ordinance .

Reasons for the enactment
Motor spirits are taxable in Punjab under the Punjab Motor Spirit ( Taxation of Sales ) Act , 1939. The rate of tax at present on all motor spirits is seven paise per litre . This rate has been in force since April , 1959 .
2. Considering the need for more finances , the erstwhile Govern- ment of Punjab had decided to raise the rate of tax on all motor spirits , except diesel oil , from seven paise per litre to nine paise per litre . This decision was announced by the then Finance Minister of Punjab in the course of his Budget Speech for the year 1966-67 . However , before the decision could be given effect to , the State Legislature was suspended and the State of Punjab came under the President's rule . The present enactment proposes to give effect to the above decision .
3. The measure is expected to yield an additional revenue of Rs . 12 lakhs per annum .
4. It has been decided to enact the present legislation without referring to the Consultative Committee to be constituted under the proviso to sub- section ( 2 ) of section 3 of the Punjab State Legislature (Delegation of Powers ) Act , 1966 ( 28 of 1966 ) , on the ground that the present proposal is a fiscal measure and a reference to the Committee would involve delay and result in loss of revenue to the State Government .
