(2) It shall come into force on such dale and in such areas as the State Government may, by notification in the official Gazette, appoint. Comments and case-law [Comments.-The Bihar Regional Development Authority Ordinance, 1974 (no.175 of 1974) was prornulqated on 19-9-1974. By successive ordinances ii was kept alive and finall; converted into ihe present Ac1 of 1982. The list of Or- dinances after 175 of 1974 is as follows: 33 of 1975; 92 of 1975; 126 of 1975; 128 or 1975; 59 of 1976; ·129 of 1976: 187 of 1976; 40 of 1977· 98 of 1977; 162 ot 1977: 207 of 1877; 255 of HJ77: 3.3 of 1978, 98 of 1978; 38 of 1979; 86 of 1979: 113 of 1979; 2 of ·1980; 95 of "1980: 116 of 1980; 10 of 1981; 120 of i981; 191 of 193-1 and Act 40 oi 1982. The Act is not the replica of its predecessor ordinances, rather soma changes in some sections were introduced while converting it into an Act. A significant controversy seems to be there in the assignment of 'year' to this Act. While the heading carries the year '1974: in section 1 (1) year '1981' has been assigned. The text ot this P.c1 (40 of ·1982) was published in the Bihar Gazette .only in HindL However, tho 1 ,ublishing of substantial portion of the Act in English in this Book could be ·ren0~red possible by comparing the text of the Act in Hindi with the text .m Hindi of earlier Ordinances and taking the English text of the Ordinances (the Ordina ces appeared in both English and Hindi) where the two Hindi texts taliied exactly 01 where very minor translation was involved. Tho purpose of ih" Ac! is. to plan the town anti thus to keep industrial ar- eas away from the residential or commercial areas. Swastik Rubber Products l.td. 11..
