STATEMENT
The levy and collection of scrutiny fees (formerly known as developm.crt fees) ky the Ahmedabad Urban Development Authority was declared as illegal in the judge- ment of the Supreme Court in Civil Appeal No. 10111 of 1983 ( Ahmedabad Urban Development Authority vs Sharadkumar) reported in AIR 1992 SC 2038 on the groundthat the regulations under which they were levied were ultra vires the provisions of the Gujarat Town Planning and Urban Develpment Act , 1976. It is considered necessary to amend the said Act to confer power on an area development authority or urban development authority to make regulation for levy and collection of scrutiny fees and to levy and collect the same according to the regulatiors so made and to validate the aforesaid levy and collection of scrutiny fees by an area development authority or an urban development authority under the rgulations made by them. Opportunity is also taken-
(i) to confer power on the area development authority or urban development authority to levy and collect fees for execution of certain works and provisions of services and amenities and to make regulations therefor ;
(ii) to make provisions of section 9 applicable to case where a local authority is designated as area development authority; and
(iii) to ainend section 26 with a view to prohibiting carrying cut any develop- ment of a building or land without obtaining certificate from appropriate authority to the effect that scrutiny fees have been paid .
Forthis purpose, a Bill called the Gujarat Town Planning and Urban Development (Amendment and Validation) Bill , 1994 (Gujarat Bill No. 28 of 1994 ) was publi- shed with a view to introduce in the last session of the Gujarat Legislative Assen Lly but could not be taken up for consideration by the House for want of time. Therefore , as the Gujarat Legislative Assembly is not in session , this Ordinance is promulgated to amend the said Act to achieve the aforesaid objects .

STATEMENT
The existing provisions of sub - section (4) of section 3 of the Gujarat Maritime Board Act, 1981 are found, at times , to leave no room for flexibility in the matter of appointment ofmembers on the Board from amongst persons who are specified in clauses (b ) to ( h ) of the said sub -section (4). It is, therefore , considered necessary to amend the said sub -sec- tion (4) to provide that the Board shall consist of not less than five and not more than twelve members , as the State Government thinks fit to appoint and to take power to the Government to appoint members other than ex - officio from amongst persons who are , in the opinion of the Government having expertise or experience in or capable of repre- senting one or more of the interests of shipping , navigation, ports , sailing vessels , fisheries , trade, commerce , industry , workers of minor ports and such other interests as ought to be represented on the Board. Clause (a) of the said sub - section (4) provides for appointment of two members from amongst officers one of whom is a representative of the department of the State Government in - charge of the administration of minor ports and the other representative of the Finance Department. It is considered necessary also to have the Commissioner of Fisheries as a member of the Board. Clause ( a) of sub-section (4) of the said section 3 is proposed to be amended to provide accordingly .
As per existing provisions of sub- section (4) of section 10, the business of meeting cannot be transacted for want of requisite quorum throughout the meeting. This require- ment is proposed to do away with a view to transact business without quorum throughout, ata meeting.
In order to enable the Chairman to devote more time in framing the policy for the effective working of the Board , it is considered necessary to relieve him from the burden of the executive work of the Board and to entrust such work to the Chief Executive Officer. It is, therefore, proposed to confer the power of the Board on the Chief Executive Officer by amending sections 15 , 24,80, 82 and 87 of the Act .
Under the existing section 17 , a person having experience of civil works , operation and administration of ports can be appointed as a Chief Executive Officer of the Board. Ongaining experience , it is found that suitable person of such experience is not available for being appointed as Chief Executive Officer . Hence , it is proposed to do away with such requirement of experience .
The existing provisions of sections 17 and 18 provide for creation of posts and appointment of the persons to such posts by the Board or by the State Government . It is proposed to give all powers of creation of posts and appointment except that of Chief Executive Officer to the Board . In case of the appointment of Chief Financial Controller prior consultation of Government is stipulated .
The existing section 24 provides that where the term of contract exceeds thirty years , the approval of the State Government is required to be obtained before the contract is made by the Board . The said limit is proposed to be reduced to five years in cases of contract for leasing of jetties , waterfront , waterways and corresponding infrastructural

facilities with a view to have a proper check and control over the Board in respect of such contracts to be executed by the Board.
Section 74 of the Act is proposed to be amended so as to enable the Board to deposit moneys standing at the credit of the Board in any corporation or financial institution controlled and managed by the State Government .
There is no provision in section 92 for laying the report relating to the administration of the Board before the State Legislature . It is, therefore , proposed to make such provision in this section.
As the Gujarat Legislative Assembly is not in session , this Ordinance is promul- gated to amend the said Actto achieve the aforesaid objects .

STATEMENT
Sardar Sarovar Narmada Nigam Limited requires able hands experienced in the fields oftrade , commerce , industry , finance , management or public life to man it efficiently . This is particularly so with regard to this company which deals directly with the implementation ofSardar Sarovar Project which is crucial for the economic growth of the State of Gujarat . Sometimes , some members of the Gujarat Legislative Assembly are found suitable for the purpose but on account of the provision of disqualification in clause (1 ) of article 191 of the Constitution of India , a doubt arises whether acceptance of the post of a Chairman or Director of such company by a member of the Gujarat Legislative Assembly would disqualify him on the ground of holding an office of profit under the Government . It is , therefore , considered necessary to remove the disqualification that might be incurred by such members on being appointed as Chairman or Director of the Sardar Sarovar Narmada Nigam Limited by adding entry 31 in the Schedule to the Gujarat Legislative Assembly Members ( Removal of Disqualifications) Act, 1960.
As the Gujarat Legislative Assembly is not in session , this Ordinance is promulgated to amend the Schedule to the said Act to achieve the aforesaid object .

STATEMENT
The provisions of sub -section ( 4) of section 3 of the Gujarat Maritime Board Act , 1981 existing immediately before the commencement of the Gujarat Maritime Board (Amendment ) Ordinance, 1995 were found , at times , to leave no room for flexibility in the matter of appointment of members on the Board from amongst persons specified in clauses ( b ) to ( h) of the said sub - section (4 ) .

It was , thorofore , proposed to confer the powers of the Board on the Chief Executive Officer by amending sections 15, 24,80,82 and 87 of the Act .
Under section 17 existing immediately before the commencement of the said Ordinance , a person having experience of civil works , operation and administration of ports can be appointed as a Chief ExecutivExecutive Officer of the Board.

It was proposed to give all powers of creation of posts and appointment excopt that of Chief Exe- cutivo Officer to the Board . In case of the appointment of Financial Controller ,-cum -Chief Accounts officer, prior consultation of Government is stipulated .
Section 24 existing immediately before the commencement of the said Ordinance provides that whore the term of contract excoeds thirty years , the approval of the State Government is required to be obtained before the contract is made by the Board .

STATEMENT
a Sardar Sarovar Narmada Nigam Limited requires able hands experienced in the fields of trade, commerce , industry, financo, management of publiclife to man it efficiently. This isparticularlyso with regard to this company which deals directly with the implementation of Sardar Sarovar Project which is crucial for the economic growth of the State of Gujarat . Sometimes , some members of the Gujarat Legislative Assembly are found suitable for the purpose but on account of the provision of disqualification in clause ( 1) of article 191 of the Constitution of India, a doubt arises whethor acceptance of the post of Chairman orDirector of such company by a member of the Gujarat Legislative Assembly woulddisqualify him on the ground of holding an office of profit under the Government. It was, thorofore, considered necessary to remove the disqualification that might be incurred by such member on being appointed as Chairman or Director of Sardar Sarovar Narmad Nigam Limited by adding entry 31 ir: the Schedule to the Gujarat Legislative AssemblyMembers (Removal of Disqualifications) Act , 1960. A: the Gujarat Legisla- tive Assembly was not in session at that time, the Gujrat Legislative Assambly Members (Removal of Disqualifications ) (Amendment) Ordinance, 1995 was promulgated on the 9th September, 1995 to achieve the aforesaid object .
The said Ordinance was laid before the Gujarat Ingislative Assembly in its session whichwas summoned to meet on the 7th Octobor , 1995 and prorogued on the same day. Therefore, the aformid Ordinanco could not be replaced by an Act of State Legislature in that session . By virtue of sub-clause (a) of clause (2) of article 213 of the Consti- tution of India, the said Ordinance would coase to operate after the 17th November, 1995, the date on which the period of six weeks from the date of reassembly of the Gujarat Legislative Assembly expires . It is expedient to take immediate action to continue the operation of the provisions of the said Ordinance . Therefore , the Gujarat Legislative Assembly is not in session, this Ordinance is promulgated to achieve the aforesaid object . as
