Article 123 of the Constitution of India provides that Ordinances having the same force and effect as an Act of Parliament may be issued by the President from time to time except when both the Houses of Parliament are in session, if the President is satisfied that circumstances demand immediate action. Accordingly, after the Constitution came into force and till December 2014, the President of India has promulgated 679 Ordinances.

This publication titled Presidential Ordinances 1950—2014 presents relevant data and information in regard to the Ordinances promulgated by the President till date. Among other things, it enumerates the dates of commencement and termination of the sessions of Parliament, the dates of laying the Ordinances on the Table of the Houses of Parliament and the dates of assent by the President to the Bills replacing the Ordinances.

It is hoped that the publication will be a useful work of reference for Members of Parliament, academics, researchers and others.

NEW DELHI; ANOOP MISHRA November 2015 Secretary-General Lok Sabha PRESIDENTIAL ORDINANCES 1950—2014 INTRODUCTION

Under article 123 of the Constitution, the President of India has the power to promulgate Ordinances when both the Houses of Parliament are not in session. The article states:

“123. (1) If at any time, except when both the Houses of Parliament are in session, the President is satisfied that circumstances exist which render it necessary for him to take immediate action, he may promulgate such Ordinances as the circumstances appear to him to require.

(2) An Ordinance promulgated under this article shall have the same force and effect as an Act of Parliament, but every such Ordinance—

(a) shall be laid before both the Houses of Parliament and shall cease to operate at the expiration of six weeks from the reassembly of Parliament, or, if before the expiration of that period resolutions disapproving it are passed by both Houses, upon the passing of the second of those resolutions; and

(b) may be withdrawn at any time by the President.

Explanation—Where the Houses of Parliament are summoned to reassemble on different dates, the period of six weeks shall be reckoned from the later of those dates for the purposes of this clause.

(3) If and so far as an Ordinance under this article makes any provision which Parliament would not under this Constitution be competent to enact, it shall be void.”

The constitutional history relating to the Ordinance-making power of the President in India is traceable to the Indian Councils Act, 1861. Under this Act, the Governor-General could promulgate Ordinances in case of Emergency which could remain in force for not more than six months. The Government of India Act, 1935 provided for promulgation of Ordinances by the Governor-General in his discretion or in exercise of his individual judgement.The Governor-General was, however, required to obtain previous instructions from the Crown in certain cases. The Governor-General also had the power to issue Ordinances even when the Legislature was in session. An Ordinance could remain in force for not more than six months and extension for a further period not exceeding six months was possible by a subsequent Ordinance. The restriction on the period of operation of the Ordinance was removed by the India and Burma (Emergency Provisions) Act, 1940. This provision continued till the enactment of the India and Burma (Termination of Emergency) Order, 1 April 1946. Under the 1935 Act, the Crown had the power to disallow an Ordinance. The India (Provisional Constitution) Order, 1947, however, omitted this provision.

A study of the practice of issuing Ordinances since the coming into force of the Constitution shows that the President of India used the Constitutional power vested in him/her when both the Houses of Parliament were not in session or when either of the Houses had been prorogued. In the case of latter, there are a few instances starting with the Travancore-Cochin Appropriation (Vote on Account) Ordinance, 1956, when the Lok Sabha was in session. But the predominant practice has been the promulgation of Ordinances when both the Houses of Parliament were not in session. If an Ordinance is promulgated before the notification of order of prorogation, the same becomes void.

Under article 123, the President can exercise his legislative powers of promulgating ordinance in accordance with the aid and advice of the Council of Ministers. The satisfaction of the President is a condition precedent to the exercise of the power under clause (1) of article 123. However, in the Cooper’s versus Union of India case, 1970, the Supreme Court maintained that it was open to an aggrieved person to challenge the exercise of the power on the ground that no such genuine satisfaction could be entertained in the facts and circumstances of the case or in other words that the action of the President or the Governor was malafide. The Court, in the same case, however, held that

(i) (ii) it was difficult to establish the propriety of the President’s satisfaction. The majority, therefore, considered it unnecessary to express any final opinion on this question. The Government of India subsequently enacted the Constitution (Thirty-eighth Amendment) Act, 1975 to expressly provide (through inserting clause IV in article 123) that the satisfaction of the President (or of the Governor) shall not be questionable in any court on any ground. By the Constitution (Forty-fourth Amendment) Act, 1978, the same clause was omitted.

As per the prevailing position, while the satisfaction of the President or of the Governor as to the existence of circumstances necessitating issuing of an Ordinance can not be examined by the Court, it is competent for the Court to inquire whether in exercise of his Constitutional power, the President or the Governor had exceeded the limits imposed by the Constitution upon the exercise of that power or not.

The validity of an Ordinance promulgated by the President cannot be decided by a Ruling of the Speaker nor can the President’s discretion in the matter of promulgation of an Ordinance be controlled by the House, i.e. Parliament. For instance, on 19 December 1953, the Speaker (Shri G.V. Mavalankar) held that the Constitutional power of the Government to issue an Ordinance, whenever they liked, could not be challenged, although it was desirable to restrict its use. He observed: “…It is a matter in the discretion of the President and cannot be controlled by this House.”

The Speaker of the Lok Sabha has, on several occasions, disapproved the action of the Government to promulgate Ordinances during the inter-session period, particularly on the eve of a session. In January 1947, referring to the issue of Ordinances, the then Speaker (Shri G.V. Mavalankar) observed:

“It was obviously a wrong convention for the Executive Government to promulgate Ordinances merely because of shortage of time. That power was to be exercised only when there was an emergency and the Legislature could not meet. It was not a desirable precedent to promulgate Ordinances for want of time, as inconvenient legislation might also be promulgated in that manner.”

The issue of promulgation of Ordinances was also a subject of correspondence between Speaker Shri G.V. Mavalankar and Prime Minister Shri Jawaharlal Nehru. In reply to Speaker Shri Mavalankar’s letter on the subject, the Prime Minister wrote on 13 December 1950:

“I think all my colleagues will agree with you that the issue of Ordinances is normally not desired and should be avoided except on special and urgent occasions. As to when such an occasion may or may not arise, it is a matter of judgement…Not only the Government of a State, but Private Members of Parliament are continually urging that new legislation should be passed. Parliamentary procedure is sufficient to give the fullest opportunities for consideration and debate and to check errors and mistakes creeping in. That is obviously desirable. But all this involves considerable delay. The result is that important legislation is held up. Every Parliament in the world has to face this difficult problem and various proposals have been made to overcome it.”

On 22 February 1952, when a member questioned the desirability of promulgating an Ordinance to pass what was virtually a Money Bill, the Speaker (Shri G.V. Mavalankar) observed: “I myself do not like promulgation of Ordinances. It is only in extreme cases that an Ordinance should be issued. The ordinary rule should be “No Ordinance”.

The Speaker Shri Mavalankar brought the matter to the notice of the Prime Minister once again in his letter of 17 July 1954 stating:

“...we, as first Lok Sabha, carry a responsibility of laying down traditions. It is not a question of present personnel in the Government but a question of precedents; and if this Ordinance issuing is not limited by convention, only to extreme and very urgent cases, the result may be that, in future, the Government may go on issuing Ordinances giving the Lok Sabha no option, but to rubber-stamp the Ordinances.”

In his reply to Shri Mavalankar’s letter, the Prime Minister Shri Jawaharlal Nehru inter alia observed on 19 July 1954:

“We have been reluctant to issue Ordinances and it is only when we have felt compelled to do so by circumstances, that we have issued them. You will appreciate that it is the responsibility of the Government to decide what steps should be taken in particular contingency. The Constitution itself has provided for the issue of Ordinances where such necessity arises, and that discretion has to be exercised by Government. We have issued in the past a (iii)

very limited number of Ordinances and we have always placed before Parliament the reasons for having issued each one of them.

I am myself unable to see why this should be considered undemocratic. Of course, this power, like any other power may be abused and Parliament will be the ultimate judge as to whether the use of this power has been right… .”

On 16 November 1971, the then Speaker (Dr. G.S. Dhillon), quoting precedents of the days of Shri Mavalankar and Pt. Nehru, took exception to the issue of a large number of Ordinances by the Government during the inter-session period of the Fifth Lok Sabha and observed: “...I would invite the attention of the Government to see that there is real emergency or urgency in justifying the issue of an Ordinance.” When some members again raised the matter on 22 November 1971, the Speaker observed: “All I can say is that I do not approve of an Ordinance just at the time when the House is about to meet.” Again on 13 November 1973, the Speaker observed:

“Ordinances by themselves are not very welcome, specially so when the date (for session of the House) is very clear. It is not only clear but is also near. In such cases, unless there are very special reasons, Ordinances should be avoided. This is the ruling which I gave on 22 November 1971 and the same was given by my predecessors.”

On 11 November 1974, when the Minister of Works and Housing and Parliamentary Affairs laid on the Table copies of Ordinances issued by the President during the inter-session period, several members, critical of the issue of Ordinances by the Government, sought the Speaker’s ruling on the subject. The Speaker (Dr. G.S. Dhillon), thereupon, observed:

“Where ordinary legislation can serve the purpose, where is the need for this (issue of Ordinances)? This I have already said, my views about this question of Ordinances are not only my views but they are the views of my predecessors…I just reiterated them and added a bit of my own emphasis in my own words, according to the situation. I stand by those various observations.”

On 17 November 1980, when the Minister of Parliamentary Affairs and Works and Housing laid on the Table ten Ordinances issued by the President during the preceding inter-session period, a member stated that Ordinances were a threat to the parliamentary form of Government and the Speaker should express his displeasure to the Government in that regard. The Speaker (Dr. Bal Ram Jakhar), thereupon, observed: “My distinguished predecessors have made observations in regard to these matters from time to time in the past. They did not approve of the issue of Ordinances on the eve of Parliament Session. I agree with them.”

Though the Ordinance-making power is thus legally unfettered, Parliament in the country has been ensuring that the power of the President in this regard is not misused by the Executive. Rule 71 of the Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business in Lok Sabha seeks to achieve the object by making the Executive accountable to Parliament for any questionable use of ordinance-making power by the Government.

The Rule provides:

“(1) Whenever a Bill seeking to replace an Ordinance with or without modification is introduced in the House, shall be placed before the House along with the Bill a statement explaining the circumstances which had necessitated immediate legislation by Ordinance.

(2) Whenever an Ordinance, which embodies wholly or partly or with modification the provisions of a Bill pending before the House is promulgated a statement explaining the circumstances which had necessitated immediate legislation by Ordinance shall be laid on the Table at the commencement of the session following the promulgation of the Ordinance.”

On 19 December 1956, when the Central Excise and Salt (Second Amendment) Bill, 1956 was being debated in the Lok Sabha, some members characterized the measure as a serious encroachment on parliamentary power (iv) and constitutional propriety as, in their opinion, it sought to delegate the powers to the Executive for imposing taxes. The Speaker (Shri G.V. Mavalankar) thereupon had observed as under:

“…so far as taxation measures are concerned, the power to issue Ordinances ought not to be invoked. Thereupon, this has come in the place of Ordinance, and it must be effective: this power ought not to be used when both the Houses are there. If only one House is there, it is no Parliament at all, and no Act can be passed.”

Again, on 22 November 1971, when a member sought to raise a point regarding issue of Ordinances relating to additional measures of taxation, the Speaker (Dr. G.S. Dhillon) observed as follows:

“I will request you not to ask me to repeat the observation that I had already made in very strong terms. But if you think that there should be some distinction between financial and non-financial, tax and non-tax Ordinances, there is nothing in my knowledge on which I can base my ruling.”

As already stated, since the Constitution came into force on 26 January 1950 in all 679 Ordinances have been promulgated till 31 December 2014. The maximum number of Ordinances promulgated in a year was 34 in 1993 followed by 32 each in 1950 and 1996. 31 Ordinances were issued during the year 1997. No Ordinance was promulgated in 1963 and only 1 Ordinance each was promulgated in 1960 and 1982. The number of Ordinances promulgated during 1950-59 was 88. As many as 67 Ordinances were promulgated during 1960-69 which almost doubled in the following decade (1970-1979) when as many as 135 Ordinances were promulgated. The decade 1980-89 evinced a reduction again in the number when 93 Ordinances were promulgated. The decade of the nineties again showed an upward trend when 196 Ordinances were promulgated. During the years 2000–2009 (31 December 2009) 74 Ordinances were issued. 28 Ordinances were issued during the years 2010-14 (till 31 December 2014).

Out of the total of 679 Ordinances promulgated during the last 64 years, 35 Ordinances were issued during the transition period, i.e., after the coming into force of the Constitution of India on 26 January 1950 but before the constitution of the First Lok Sabha on 17 April 1952. The number of Ordinances issued during the life span of each Lok Sabha varies considerably. While the number of Ordinances issued during the First, Second, Third and the Fourth Lok Sabha was 37, 20, 31 and 34 respectively, their number went up by nearly three times during the Fifth Lok Sabha (1971-1977) when as many as 93 Ordinances were promulgated. However, the number fell to 27 during the Sixth Lok Sabha which had a life span of 2 years, 4 months and 28 days. During the Seventh Lok Sabha, the number again rose to 58 but came down to 35 during the Eighth Lok Sabha. The number of Ordinances issued was only 5 during the term of the Ninth Lok Sabha which lasted for 1 year, 2 months and 26 days. The number rose to 114 during the span of the Tenth Lok Sabha. The number of Ordinances issued during the Eleventh, Twelfth, Thirteenth and the Fourteenth Lok Sabha was 33, 22, 33 and 36 respectively. The Eleventh Lok Sabha had a duration of 18 months while the Twelfth Lok Sabha lasted 13 months. The Bill replacing the Prevention of Terrorism Ordinance, 2001 was passed in a joint sitting of Parliament on 26 March 2002. During the Fifteenth Lok Sabha, (May 2009—May 2014) 25 Ordinances were promulgated. ORDINANCES PROMULGATED BY THE PRESIDENT DURING THE PERIOD 1950—2014
