Section 139 - Publication of rules and notifications and laying of rules before Parliament / State Legislature

Publication and parliamentary scrutiny require gazette publication and laying of rules before the legislature, permitting modification or annulment.

All rules and notifications under the Act must be published in the Official Gazette and, except for instruments relating to strategic, secret, individual or personal matters, must be laid before Parliament or the State Legislature while in session for a cumulative period of thirty days; Parliament or the Legislature may modify or annul such instruments within that period, and any modification or annulment does not affect the validity of actions taken under the instrument prior to such change.
