THE GAZETTE OF INDIA EXTRAORDINARY [PA*T U—SEC- 2]STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS
The aims and objects of Palekar Tribunal Award were to safeguard the interests of part-time correspondents working in newspaper establish- ments and in news agencies. Palekar Tribunal gave its recommenda- tions for the benefit of these part-time correspondents in the year I960. But these part-time correspondents are not getting these benefits because of the legal technicalities of sectien 2 of Working Journalists and Other Newspaper Employees (Conditions of Service) and Miscellaneous Pro- visions Act, 1955 in which only those part-time correspondents are covered whose principal avocation is that of a journalist. Hence to safeguard the interest of part-time correspondents whose principal avocation is other than that of a journalist, it is proposed to amend the Act suitably.
Hence the Bill.
