NEW DELHI; ANANT GANGARAM GEETE, 25 July, 2000 Chairman, 3 Sravana, 1921 (Saka) Standing Committee on Urban and Rural Development. REPORT PART I BACKGROUND OF THE BILL The Constitution (Eighty-sixth Amendment) Bill, 1999 was introduced in the Rajya Sabha on the 17th December, 1999. 1.2 The Statement of Objects and Reasons of the Bill inter alia states as under: “Article 243 D provides for reservation for the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in every Panchayat. ** ** ** ** Since no Scheduled Castes exist in the State and the State of Arunachal Pradesh is singularly free from the caste system, it is proposed to insert a new clause (3A) in article 243 M of the Constitution of India, to exempt the State of Arunachal Pradesh from the application of article 243 D relating to the reservation of seats in Panchayats for the Scheduled Castes” 1.3 The only operative clause of the Bill reads as under: “In article 243M of the Constitution, after clause(3), the following clause shall be inserted, namely:- ‘(3A) Nothing in article 243D, relating to reservation of seats for the Scheduled Castes, shall apply to the State of Arunachal Pradesh’.” [A copy of the Bill is appended as Appendix-I] 1.4 While tracing the legislative history of the Bill, the Department of Rural Development in the Ministry of Rural Development had informed the Committee that the Constitution (Seventyt-third Amendment) Act, 1992 which inserted Part IX in the Constitution of India providing for matters relating to “Panchayats”, was brought into force with effect from the 24th April, 1993. The said Constitution Amendment Act provided that, within one year from the data of commencement of the Act, all the States shall amend their local Panchayat laws to bring them in conformity with the provisions of newly inserted provisions of Part IX of the Constitution. That exercise was to be completed before the 23rd April, 1994. As the deadline was to be adhered to, the Governor of Arunachal Pradesh on the 18th April, 1994 promulgated the Arunachal Pradesh Panchayat Raj Ordinance, 1994. Till then, the provisions of North East Frontier Agency Panchayat Raj Regulation, 1967 governed the matters relating to Panchayats in Arunachal Pradesh. On the 9th September, 1994 the Arunachal Pradesh Legislative Assembly passed the Arunachal Pradesh Panchayat Raj Bill, 1994 for replacing the said Ordinance by an Act of the State Legislature. The Governor of Arunachal Pradesh reserved the Constitution Bill for the consideration of the President under Article 200 of the Constitution on the ground that the Bill did not provide for reservation for Scheduled Castes in Panchayats in Arunachal Pradesh. The Arunachal Pradesh, Panchayat Raj Bill, 1994 underwent further examination by the Central Government. Certain inadequacies to the extent that the Bill did not comply with the provisions of Part IX of the Constitution were identified. The inadequacies included the Bill’s non- compliance with Article 243D of the Constitution relating to provision of reservation for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in Panchayats. The Department of Rural Development had brought those inadequacies to the notice of the Arunachal Pradesh Government. The President of India on the 2nd September, 1996 under proviso to article 201 of the Constitution, returned the Bill to the Legislature of the State of Arunachal Pradesh together with a message that the Legislature might reconsider the Bill and suitably amend it to provide for the following: “(1) setting up of Gram Sabha as envisaged in article 243 (B) of the Constitution and to entrust it with powers and functions, as envisaged in article 243 A of the Constitution; (2) reservation of seats for the Scheduled Castes as enshrined in article 243D of the Constitution; (3) direct election to Panchayats from the territorial constituencies, as per article 243C(2) of the Constitution. Provisions for nomination of members to the Anchal Samiti and Zilla Parishad and the nominee to the Anchal Samiti becoming President of the Village Panchayat should also be reconsidered accordingly; and (4) the name of the State Election Commission should uniformly appear as such in all places in the Bill.” 1.5 The Arunachal Pradesh Legislature Assembly reconsidered the Arunachal Pradesh Panchayat Raj Bill, 1994, as returned by the President of India, on the 18th and 19th March, 1997 and incorporated all the points mentioned by the President in his message except the point relating to reservation of seats for Scheduled Castes in Panchayats. The Bill was passed by the Assembly as the Arunachal Pradesh Panchayat Raj Bill, 1997. The Governor of Arunachal Pradesh again reserved the Bill for the consideration of the President.

The virus causes respiratory diseases in human beings from common cold to more rare and serious diseases such as the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) and the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS), both of which have high mortality rates (WHO 2020). The UN Secretary General described it as the worst crisis being faced by mankind since World War-II. It may lead to enhanced instability, unrest and enhanced conflict (The Economic Times, April 1, 2020). There is a high risk associated with this disease as it is highly fatal and contagious.
