9. Power To Make Rules.-
(1) The Central Government may, by notification in the official
Gazette, make rules for carrying out the purposes of this Act.
(2) In particular, and without prejudice to the generality of
the foregoing power, such rules may provide for-
(a) the form and manner in which, and the persons by whom, any
list of presents referred to in sub-section (2) of Sec. 3 shall be maintained
and all other matters connected therewith; and
(b) the better co-ordination of policy and action with
respect to the administration of this Act.
(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.
