Removal of certain disqualifications. * * * * STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS I Act 4 of 1957.- Consequent on the taking over of life insurance business by the Government of India, any member of the State Legislature holding an office of profit in any of the Insurance Companies whose life insurance business has been taken over, will incur disqualifications from membership of the State Legislature. The disqualification in respect of members of Parliament holding similar offices of profit has been removed by section 15 of the Insurance (Emergency Provisions) Act, 1956 (Central Act 9 of 1956), and the Government of India have drawn attention of the State Government to this provision and have suggested consideration of enactment of similar law to cover cases of members of the State legislature. It is considered necessary to enact a similar law in the State. Hence the Bill. (Published in the Mysore Gazette (Extraordinary) dated 18-9-1956 at page 2 II Amending Act 35 of 1962.- At present the Home Guards Organisation is in existence only in the Bombay-Karnataka Districts of the State. In view of the present emergency it is considered necessary to have a voluntary body of person throughout the State to discharge duties in relation to the protection of persons, the security of property and preservation of public order in emergency. Hence, it is proposed to organise Home Guards in the entire State. In order to effectively control and administer the Organisation it is necessary to have a uniform law. In view of the urgency and as the Legislature was not in session, the Mysore Home Guard Ordinance, 1962, was issued. The present Bill is intended to replace the said Ordinance. Except for the two clauses relating to repeal and saving, and the addition of a provision for laying rules made under the Act before the Houses of Legislature, in other respects the provisions of the Bill are identical with the provisions of the Ordinance (Published in the Mysore Gazette (Extraordinary) Part IV-2A as No. 238 dated 1-12-1962 2 III Amending Act 34 of 1964.— The Village Defence Parties exist in the four districts of the Bombay Area. These parties are voluntary organisations of able bodied villagers meant for the defence of villages against depredations of dacoits and other types of criminals. These parties are constituted under the Bombay Police Act, 1951.
