Power to make rules.
(1) 1[The Central Government may, by notification in the Official Gazette,
make rules] for the guidance of officers in all matters connected with the enforcement of this Act.
(2) The power to make rules under sub-section (1) shall be subject to the condition of the rules being
made after previous publication.
2[(3) Every rule made under this section 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 rule or
both Houses agree that the rule should not be made, the 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 rule.]
