Reasons for the enactment

Under articles 267 (2) and 283 (2) of the Constitution,
the Assam Contingency Fund Act, 1950 was enacted pro-
viding for the establishment of a Contingency Fund of the
###### State of Assam and to provide for advances to be made out
of it for the purposes of meeting unforeseen expenditure.
###### Under Section 3 of that Act, as amended, the corpus of the Fund is Rs. 5 crores. Of this, Rs. 4 11 crores had been drawn upon till the end of March, 1980 and, therefore, the resi- duary balance has become totally insufficient: for meeting expenditure on unforeseen items especially those per- taining to law and order, rehabilitation of the people
affected by disturbances, etc., and other post-budget
commitments. To meet these, the Bill seeks to raise tem-
###### porarily the corpus of the Fund to Rs. 15 crores until the
31st day of March, 1981.

2. In view of the urgency of the matter, it is not prac-
ticable to consult the Consultative Committee of Parlia-
###### ment on Assam Legislation. The measure is accordingly
being enacted without reference to the Consultative
Committee.
