and any such investigation, legal proceeding or remedy may be instituted, continued or enforced and any such penally, forfeiture or punishment may be Imposed as if the said Act had not been repeal- ed.

STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS

By the Rajasthan Premises (Control of Rent and Eviction) Amending and Extending Act, 1957, the Rajasthan Premises (Control of Rent and Eviction) Act, 1950 was extended to the Nasirabad cantonment and the Delhi and Ajmer Rent Control Act, 1952 in its application to that cantonment was repealed.

2. In the case of Nawalmal v. Nathumal (A.I.R. 1962 Rajasthan 190), the High Court of Rajasthan held that the aforesaid 1957 Act of the Rajasthan Legislature was ultra vires in so far as it related to the Nasirabad cantonment on the ground that in view of entry 3 in the Union List the State Legislature had no power to make law with respect to control of rents and eviction from house accommodation in the Nasirabad cantonment. As a consequence, the Delhi and Ajmer Rent Control Act, 1952 continues to remain in force in that cantonment.

3. The Government of Rajasthan have been pressing for the extension of the Rajasthan Promises (Control of Rent and Eviction) Act, 1950 to the Nasirabad cantonment with a view to secure unifor- mity in respect of rent control legislation in the entire State and the Central Government has power of such extension under section 3 of the Cantonments (Extension of Rent Control Laws) Act, 1957 enacted by Parliament. But, unless the Delhi and Ajmer Rent Control Act, 1952 which is in force in the Nasirabad cantonment Is repealed by a suitable legislation the power to extend the Rajas- than Act of 1950 to the Nasirabad cantonment cannot be exercised by the Central Government.

4. The Bill accordingly seeks to repeal the Delhi and Ajmer Rent Control Act, 1952 in its application to the Nasirabad cantonment.

Bill No. XXIX of 1967

A Bill further to amend the Press and Registration of Books Act,

1867.

BE it enacted by Parliament in the Eighteenth Year of the

Republic of India as follows: —

1. This Act may be called the Press and Registration of Books Short titl".

(Amendment) Act, 1967.

2. In section 5A of the Press and Registration of Books Act, 186^, 25 of 1887.

Amend- ment of section 5A.

STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS

By the Press and Registration of Books (Amendment) Act, 1965, the Press and Registration of Books Act, 1867 was extended to the State of Jammu and Kashmir and the said 1965 Act was brought into force on the 1st November, 1965. This was done with a view to enabling the Registrar of Newspapers for India to collect informa- tion and statistics about the Press in that State and to have a uni- form law for the whole of the country, including the State of Jammu and Kashmir for the regulation of the printing presses and newspapers, for the preservation of copies of books and newspapers printed in India and for the registration of such books and news- papers. Under section 5A of the Press and Registration of Books Act, 1867 (inserted by Act 19 of 1965), the keepers of the printing presses and printers and publishers of newspapers in Jammu and Kashmir were required to make and subscribe fresh declarations within a period of two months from the date of enforcement of the Press and Registration of Books (Amendment) Act, 1965 in that State, namely, the 1st November, 1965. This provision could not, however, be complied with by the keepers of printing presses and printers and publishers of newspapers in that State due to certain administrative difficulties and for want of enough time.

It is, therefore, proposed to extend the time limit for the filing of declarations under the said section 5A up to the 30th June, 1968.

The Bill seeks to achieve this object.

Except for an expenditure which is not likely to exceed Rs. 150 towards expenses broadly relatable to issue of certificate of registration, supply of forms etc. the Bill does not directly involve any expenditure, recurring or non-recurring.
