Arbitration and Conciliation Act Section 84 — Power to make rules

CHAPTER II

Civil

Summary

Sub-section (1) allows the Central Government to create rules through an official notification in the Official Gazette, for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Act.

Sub-section (2) requires that every rule made by the Central Government under this Act must be placed before both Houses of Parliament as soon as possible after it is made. The rule must be laid before Parliament for a total period of thirty days, which can be in one session or spread across two or more successive sessions. If, before the end of the session immediately following the session or successive sessions in which it was laid, both Houses agree to modify the rule, or both Houses agree that the rule should not be made, then the rule will take effect only in its modified form, or will have no effect at all, depending on the situation. However, any such modification or annulment will not affect the validity of anything that was already done under that rule before the modification or annulment.
