The Parliament Secretariat Act, 1994
Sections 9 and 18 r/w
Special Medical Attendant Rules, 1950
Rule 12
The Parliament Secretariat Act, 1994 the Parliament is the proper authority to take decision, action or raise question on the approval of alleged bills and neither the ACC nor any authority does have power to raise question about the approval of said bills–– From the combined reading of Section 9 together with Section 18 of the Parliament Secretariat Act, 1994 it appears indubitably that the parliament secretariat will be responsible only to the Parliament through the Controller and Auditor General over the matter of expenditure of the financial allocation in the yearly budget and nobody else can raise any question as to the use of such budget. But in the cases in hand, those provisions of the Parliament Secretariat Act, 1994 will not give any protection to the appellant since the Anti-Corruption Commission brought allegation against the appellant and other accused persons as to the mode of approval of medical bills in doing which the Speaker was not authorized to approve without the sanction of the Prime Minister. However, Appellate Division has already viewed that neither the ACC nor any authority does have power to raise question about the authority of the Speaker in approving said bills. .....Barrister Muhammad Jamiruddin Sircar =VS= The State, (Criminal), 2022(2) [13 LM (AD) 572] ....View Full Judgment
