Direction by the State Government – In the Discharge of its functions, the Board shall be guided by such directions and instructions as may be given to it, form time to time by the State Government. JHARKHAND KHADI AND VILLAGE INDUSTRIES ACT, 1956 (ADOPTED) 14 Bihar Khadi and Village Industries Act, 1956 [Ed.- Prior to Substitution by Act 11 of 1982, sub-secs. of S. 30 read as follows: “30. Direction by the State Government – (1) In the Discharge of its functions, the Board shall be guided by such directions and instructions as may be given to it, form time to time by the State Government. (2) If any question arises between the State Government and the Board as to whether or not a question is a question of policy, the State Government shall be final. [Ed.- The State of Jharkhand having only one House, this may be read accordingly. Comments & Case-Law The primary or essential function of the Bihar State KhadiGramodyog Board is development of the khadi and village industries in Bihar. Therefore, it is with respect to this function alone that the State Government can issue direction to the Board u/s 30 of the Act. It was held that appointment of the employees cannot but be an ancillary function which the Board is required to perform in order to achieve its avowed object of development of the Khadi and Village industries, and not the essential and primary function. Therefore Government cannot interfere in appointments made by the Board. Establishment Committee is sole authority in matter of appointment, promotion and disciplinary actions in respect of class – III & IV employees.
