EXTRAORDINARY 17 STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS The repeal of enactments which have ceased to be in force or have become obsolete or the retention whereof as separate, independent and distinct Acts is unnecessary, then, such enactments are repealed. The principal object of such repealing Acts is to excise dead matter, prune off superfluities and remove such redundant laws from the Statute Book to bring in clarity. The Appropriation Acts enacted during past sixty-five years, in reality have lost their meaning but are still shown on the Statute-Books. These laws have become either irrelevant or dysfunctional and importantly have served their purpose and outlived their utility. 2. The Commission on Review of Administrative Laws gave its Report in 1998, inter alia recommending the repeal of 700 Appropriation Acts passed by Parliament from time to time since 1950 on the ground that these laws have become either irrelevant or dysfunctional. The Law Commission of India in its 248th Report on “Obsolete Laws: Warranting Immediate Repeal” has also observed that a large number of Appropriation Acts enacted during past several years, in reality have lost any meaning and are still shown on the Statue-Books. Law Commission further emphasised that repealing of Appropriation Acts whose terms have ended will in no way cause any negative impact on actions that were validly taken under these Acts. It will, however, and importantly serve the purpose of clearing the Statute-Books and reducing the burden. 3. The Select Committee of Rajya Sabha while examining the Repleaing and Amending Bill, 2014 as passed by the Lok Sabha in its Report supported the repeal of Appropriation Acts including the Appropriation (Railways) Acts as these Acts continue to pile up and remain effective till repealed. The Select Committee, inter alia, made the following recommendations (Para 1) with respect to the Appropriation Acts [including the Appropriation (Railways) Acts]: “The Committee recommends that the Ministry should explore the possibility of having an idea for inclusion of an ‘automatic repeal clause’ at the first instance in the Railway Appropriation and Finance Appropriation Acts as every year a new Railway and Finance Appropriation Acts are introduced but the previous years’ Appropriation Acts continue to pile up and remain effective till repealed. Similarly, the Ministry may also explore introduction of identical clause in other Bills. The Committee is of the considered view that with this provision, a lot of time could be saved and utilised on urgent public interest issues pending with the Legislature.”. 4. The recommendation for inclusion of an automatic repeal clause has been examined by the Government with reference to the practice followed in United Kingdom and Australia. In the United Kingdom, all Appropriation Acts usually contain a repealing provision which specifically repeal older Appropriation Acts. In Australia, there is a comprehensive law, namely, the Legislation Act, 2001 which contains 302 sections and other Annexures which, inter alia, deals with the “life cycle” of legislation, improving its structure and content and simplifying its provisions where practicable. Section 89 of the said Act deals with automatic repeal of certain laws and provisions and in its sub-section (2) it says that an Appropriation Act is automatically repealed on the last day of the financial year for which it makes appropriation. In brief, the Legislation Act, 2001 is a comprehensive legislation which deals with various aspects of legislation including interpretation of legislation. 5. In view of above, it has been decided to follow the repeal mechanism in vogue in United Kingdom to systematically repeal Appropriation Acts (on whose Appropriation Acts we model our own) usually two sessions in arrears. This will be in consonance with the recommendations of the Select Committee to have a repeal clause in the Appropriation18 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA EXTRAORDINARY [PART II— SEC. 2] Acts. However, such clause shall be provided when the enactment of the Appropriation Act, 2016 is undertaken where under the Appropriation Acts of 2013 shall be repealed. 6. Based on the repeal mechanism followed in United Kingdom, the Appropriation Acts (Repeal) Bill, 2015 has been prepared to repeal 758 Appropriation Acts [including Appropriation (Railways) Acts] enacted by Parliament during the period 1950 to 2012, which include 111 State Appropriation Acts enacted by Parliament during 1950 to 1976, in terms of clause (2) of article 357 of the Constitution as it existed prior to the year 1977, when the States were under President’s Rule. Since the Appropriation Acts spend themselves after a particular Financial Year, an appropriate saving clause has been incorporated in the Bill to save the past transactions. 7. The Bill seeks to achieve the aforesaid objectives. NEW DELHI; D.V. SADANANDA GOWDA.
