IV. Ruling by the Speaker.
Hon'ble Speaker gave the following ruling: -
promised on Friday, the 18th April, 1980, I rise to giv ruling on the
point of order raised by Hon. Member Shri Herculano Dourad 1 on notices of
Bills tabled by him proposing to enhance the salaries of Dy. Speaker, Ministers
and Members of this Assembly;
Notices of Bills received are examined by our Department with a view to
ensure that the Bill conforms to the various provisions of the Govt. of Union
territories Act and Rules. When the Bill satisfies all the requirements as men-
tioned in the Book on Practice and Procedure of Parliament by Kaul & Shak-
dher, a Bill number is indicated at the top of the Bill and the cover and docket
pages are prepared and attached to the Bill. One of the points for examination
before introduction is whether recommendation of the Administrator is required
either for introduction or consideration of the Bill under any of the provisions
of the Govt. of Union territories Act. A3 pointed by the Member the amendment
to the Salaries and Allowances of Members of the Legislative Assembly Act,
tabled by him will attract only section 23(3) of the Govt. of Union Territories
Act as the Bill only involves expenditure from the consolidated fund. But as far
as the other two Bills are concerned the position is diferent. As per section 3 of
the Goa, Daman and Diu Salaries and Allowances of the Speaker and Dy. Speaker
Act, 1964 the Speaker shall be paid such salary as are provided for a Minister
under the Goa, Daman and Diu Salaries and Allowances of Ministers Act, 1964,
Hence any enhancement to the salary of the Minister will automatically amount
to increase in salary of Speaker. Salary of Speaker and Dy. Speaker are char-
ged on the consolidated fund and as such amendments proposing to increase the
salary of Speaker and- the Dy. Speaker will amount to increase in the expen-
diture charged on the consolidated fund. The amendment to the Goa, Daman and
Diu Salaries and Allowances of Ministers which also amounts to increase of
salary of Speaker and the amendment to the Goa, Daman and Diu Salaries and
Allowances of Speaker and Dy. Speaker Act proposing increase in salary of Dy.
Speaker will thus attract section 23(l)(d) of the Govt. of Union Territories Act
and the recommendation of the Administrator is therefore required for their
introduction in the Legislative Assembly. In view of this position the amendment
to the Goa, Daman and Diu Salaries and Allowances of Ministers Act and the
amendment to the Goa, Daman and Diu Salaries and Allowances of the Speaker
and Dy. Speaker Act cannot be introduced in the Assembly without the recom-
mendation of the Administrator. Coming to the amendment to the Salaries and
