Bangladesh Water And Power Development Boards Order, 1972

 

Bangladesh
Water And Power Development Boards Order, 1972

(P.O.No. 59
Of 1972)

 

Article—4(3)

Under
Article 4(3) of P.O. No. 59 of 1972 there is a general power of the Government
to give directions to the Board. It says, “Each Board shall, in discharging its
functions, be guided by such direction as the Government may give from time to
time.”

From
the language employed in Article 4(3) it seems to be clear that the direction
that the Government may give from time to time to either the Water Board or the
Power Board in the discharge of their functions will be in the nature of
guidance which will be related broadly to policies and procedures. Article 4(3)
was never meant to be a provision for enabling the Government to interfere with
the day-to-day function of either Board in an individual case and in a
particular contractual matter between a Board and a contractor.
