Cabinet approves Appropriation Acts (Repeal) Bill 2015
The is in keeping with the Prime Minister’s commitment to bring reform in the country’s legal system, so as to make it more accessible to the common man.
"This is also in consonance with the recommendations of the Select Committee of Rajya Sabha to have a repeal clause in the Appropriation Acts. However, such clause shall be provided when the enactment of the Appropriation Act, 2016 is undertaken where under the Appropriation Acts of 2013 shall be repealed," read a government statement.
The Appropriation Acts [including Appropriation (Railways) Acts] enacted from the year 1950 to 2012 and 111 State Appropriation Acts enacted by Parliament since 1950 to 1976, in reality have lost their meaning and are still shown on the Statute-Books.
The repealing of Appropriation Acts whose terms have ended will in no way cause any negative impact on actions that were validly taken under these Acts.
