STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS

As a result of the disturbances that took place in the Aligarh Muslim University in April , 1965, the President promulgated the Aligarh Muslim University (Amendment) Ordinance , 1965 on the 20th May , 1965, to amend the Aligarh Muslim University Act , 1920. The Ordinance was later re- placed by the Aligarh Muslim University (Amendment) Act , 1965. Both the Ordinance and the amending Act were temporary measures to tide over the difficult situation which was prevalent in the University at that time and the intention was to bring before Parliament , in due course , a comprehensive long -term legislation for the University.

2. On account of certain developments , it has not been possible to in- troduce, so far, the said long - term legislation . Decisions on that part of the recommendations of the Banaras Hindu University Inquiry Committee which concern all the Central Universities , have yet to be finalised. The report of the Committee on Governance of Universities appointed by the University Grants Commission which will have a bearing on long-term legislation for Central Universities , is expected to be received shortly . In view of this, it is proposed that long- term legislation in respect of the Aligarh Muslim University may be undertaken after the recommendations of the two Committees referred to above have been examined and deci- sions taken thereon .

3. The Golden Jubilee Celebrations of the Aligarh Muslim University are due to take place in December this year and the University is anxious to have a democratic set up before that time. The Government therefore propose to amend certain provisions of the Act with a view to providing for a democratic set up of the Court and the Executive Council . The Bill seeks to achieve this purpose .

MEMORANDUM REGARDING DELEGATED LEGISLATION

Clause 4 of the Bill proposes to substitute sub - section (2 ) of section 28 of the principal Act by which the Court of the Aligarh Muslim University is being empowered to make new or additional Statutes or to amend or repeal the Statutes . The matters in respect of which the Statutes may be made relate to the internal administration of the affairs of the Univer- sity, conduct of meetings of the Court and other authorities , determining the conditions of service of the teachers of the University and other pro- cedural matters .

2. The matters in respect of which Statutes may be made are matters of detail or of procedure within the scope of the general provisions and guiding principles in the Act and it is not possible to provide for them in the Act. The delegation of legislative power is , therefore , of a normal character.

STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS

Under sub - section ( 1 ) of section 4 of the Air Corporations Act, 1953 (27 of 1953 ) , each of the Corporations established under that Act shall consist of not less than five but not more than nine members appointed by the Central Government . In the light of the experience gained , it is considered necessary to increase the maximum number of members from nine to fifteen and the minimum from five to nine and to vest the general superinten- dence, direction and management of the affairs and business of each of the Corporations in a Board of Directors . In accordance with the recent deci- sions of the Government , on the recommendations of the Administrative Reforms Commission, it is also considered necessary to appoint functional directors on the Boards of the Corporations and to appoint the directors in consultation with the Chairman ,

2. In furtherance of their activities in running international air - trans- port services , Air -India have found it necessary to establish and manage hotels and restaurants . Section 7 ( 2) ( k ) of the Act , as at present worded , does not permit this . To achieve this objective , it is proposed to amend the section suitably enabling the Corporations to establish and manage hotels and restaurants also . It is also proposed to enable the Corporations to form companies under the Companies Act , 1956 or under any other law relating to companies , to further the efficient performance of their duties and the exercise of their powers under the Act .

3. In the light of the recommendations of the Administrative Reforms Commission and of the Committee on Public Undertakings , it is proposed to empower the Corporations to incur capital expenditure without the pre- vious approval of the Government up to rupees forty lakhs instead of rupees fifteen lakhs as at present . It is also proposed to increase the period for which each Corporation can enter into a lease of immovable property without the previous approval of the Central Government from five to ten years .

4. Sub - section ( 1) of section 41 of the Act empowers the Central Gov- ernment in consultation with the Corporation concerned to appoint an Advisory Committee for the purpose of advising the Corporation in respect of such matters as may be referred to it by the Corporation or as may be prescribed . As experience has shown that the Advisory Committees set up under this provision serve no useful purpose , it is proposed to omit this provision.

5. Section 45 of the Act empowers each of the Corporations , with the prior approval of the Central Government , to make regulations with respect to the matters specified in that section . It is proposed to amend the section to do away with the need for prior approval of the Central Government SEC . 2 ]

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA EXTRAORDINARY

853

for the making of regulations , other than those relating to the terms and conditions of service of the employees of the Corporations .

6. The Bill is mainly intended to achieve the above objects . Oppor- tunity has also been taken to make certain other amendments in the Act , which are either minor or consequential in nature.
