Section 3:
Power to specify commodities which are required to be packed in jute packaging material.
(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in any other law for the time being in force, the
Central Government may, if it is satisfied, after considering the recommendations made to it by the
Standing Advisory Committee, that it is necessary so to do in the interests of production of raw jute and
jute packaging material, and of persons engaged in the production thereof, by order published in the
Official Gazette, direct, from time to time, that such commodity or class of commodities or such
percentage thereof, as may be specified in the order, shall, on and from such date, as may be specified in
the order, be packed for the purposes of its supply or distribution in such jute packaging material as may
be specified in the order:
Provided that until such time as the Standing Advisory Committee is constituted under section 4, the
Central Government shall, before making any order under this sub-section, consider the matters specified
in sub-section (2) of section 4, and any order so made shall cease to operate at the expiration of three
months from the date on which the Standing Advisory Committee makes its recommendations.
(2) Every order made under sub-section (1) 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 both Houses agree that the order should not be made, the order 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.
