Section 53:
Orders and rules to be laid before both Houses of Parliament.
1[(1)] Every order and every
rule made by the Central Government under this Act shall be laid, as soon as may be after it is made,
before each House of Parliament, while it is in session, for a total period of thirty days which may be
comprised in one session or in two or more successive sessions, and if, before the expiry of the session
immediately following the session or the successive sessions aforesaid, both Houses agree in making any
modification in the order or rule or both Houses agree that the order or rule should not be made, the order
or rule shall thereafter have effect only in such modified form or be of no effect, as the case may be; so,
however, that any such modification or annulment shall be without prejudice to the validity of anything
previously done under that order or rule.
2[(2) The Order referred to in entry 33 of the Schedule and every amendment made to that Order shall
be laid as soon as may be after it is made before each House of Parliament while it is in session for a total
period of 30 days which may be comprised in one session or in two or more successive sessions.]
