No. NE-313(MZ) 2006-2008NOTIFICATIONNO.LA/ACCT/3/2017/16, the 18th October, 2017.In exer cise of the powers conferred by Rule 4 of the Mizoram Legislative Assembly Secr etariat (Recruitment and Conditions of Service) Rules, 1995 as amended from time to time, the Hon. Speaker is pleased to accept the Report and recommendations of the Four th Report of Assembly Pay Committee, 2017 for redesignation of the post of S ecretar y of Mizoram Legislative Assembly (PB-4 37400-67000+GP 9500) to the post of Commissioner and Secretary with a pay of PB-4 (37400-67000+GP 10000). Ngurtha nzuala, Secretary, Mizoram Legislative Assembly. FOURTH REPORT OF THE ASSEMBLY PAY COMMITTEE, 2017R E P O RT T he accountabilit y of the Executive to the Legislature is a basic principle of a Pa rliamentary Democracy without which there cannot be an efficient a nd transparent Government. Every S tate Legislature, irrespective of its size, has a distinct sanctity and importance because of its distinct nature of works and not the volume. There is no denying the fact that the Legislature of a State in its present status is hard to be portrayed as a body to which the Executive is accountable in administrat ive and fina ncial matters. As a result , the p ossibility of the s anctity and impor tance of the Legislature dwindling in the eyes of the Executive looms la rge in the horizon. Under the circumstances, upgradation of the Legislatur e of a State to a status higher than the one it has been enjoying is the need of the hour. In order to upgrade the sta tus of the Legislature, upgradation of the post of Secretary of the Legislature is the first prerequisite. 2.The All India Conference of Presiding Officers and Secretar ies of Legislative Bodies in India, being awar e of this fa ct, had been engaging its expertise in the discussion of the subject for some years. The Conference, in its meeting held in Delhi in 1998 a dopted a resolution for upgradation of the status of Secretary of State Legislatures in India in terms of rank and pay in the pattern of Parliament and re-designation of the post as Principal Secretary. The resolution hasVOL - XLVI Aizawl, Friday 20.10.2017 Asvina 28, S.E. 1939, Issue No. 635 already been implemented by most State Legislatures. However, the resolution has not been implemented by Mizoram State Legislature till date. 3.In exercise of the powers conferred by Article 187 of the Constitution of India, the Government of Mizoram has made separ ate rules for the employees of the Mizoram Legisla tive Assembly Secretariat i.e. The Mizoram Legislative Assembly Secretar iat ( Recruitment and Conditions of Service) Rules, 1995. Since then, recruitment and condit ions of service of the Mizoram Legisla tive Assembly has been governed by separate rules. Thus, the officers and staff of the Mizoram Legislative Assembly have been appointed by the Hon’ble Speaker and the Secretary by the Hon’ble Governor on the recommendation of the Hon’ble S peaker. The position and authority of the Hon’ble Speaker in the matter of recruitment, terms and conditions of service of the officers and staff have ever since been recognized by rules and conventions. 4.The budget estimates of Mizoram Legislative Assembly a nd its Secretariat, prepar ed by the Assembly Secretariat are scrutinized by a Budget Committee constituted under Rules 285 to 287 of the Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business in Mizoram Legislative Assembly under the Chairmanship of the Deputy Speaker, and submitted to the Hon’ble Speaker for his approval. After the appr oval of the Hon’ble Speaker, the estimates are forwar ded to Finance Depar tment for incorpora tion in the State Budget as a matter of course. The estimates are not subject to scrutiny by the Finance Depa rtment or any other Commit tee of the Government. If the Finance Department has any observa tion to make, it shall be submitted to the Hon’ble Speaker for his consideration. In the event of any difference of opinion between the Committee and the Finance Department, the decision of the Hon’ble Speaker in consultation with the Leader of the House shall be final. 5.Owing to t he independent na tur e of the Ass embly Secretar iat, the quest ion of revis ion of pay scale of officers and staff of the Secretariat was kept outside the purview of the State Pay Commission constituted from time to time and the rules made thereof. {Par a 5.28 of t he Fit ment Committee, 2009 and Rule 2 (2) (i) of the Mizoram (Revision of Pay) Rules, 2010 } 6.Legislative Assemblies discharge specialized function and the job requirements are quite distinct from those of the State Government or other bodies. T he pay structure, designation, etc may not be identical with those of other Depa rtments under the Government of Mizoram and other bodies. The upgrada tion of the post of the Secretary, Mizoram Legislative Assembly to that of the post of Commissioner and Secretary will also necessitate the filling up of the said upgraded post from the Officer s of the Legislative Assembly itself who ar e well ver sed and exp erienced in pa rliamentary practices, procedures and legislative matters. The appointment of Officers other than that of the Legislative Assembly cadres to the post of Commissioner and Secretary would defea t the very purpose and underlying concept of the need for upgradation of the post of Secretary. The then Lok Sabha Speaker Mavalankar, while considering the conditions of services of both Secretariat of Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha had rightly observed in 1948“Every officer, su bor dina t e or other wis e, serving in the S ecretariat of the Legislatu re must be in a position t o carr y out his duties without fear or favour of the Executive Government, and obviously this cannot be done if persons in the employ of the Legislature Secretariat have to look upon such bodies as Selection Board, consisting of the officers and nominees of the Executive Government, for their chances and career in the Secretariat of the Legislature.” 7.Convinced of the urgent need for the said upgra dation, the Hon’ble Speaker cons tituted an Assembly Pay Committee to exa mine the matter thoroughly and take steps for ear ly implementa tion- 2 - Ex-635/2017 of the resolution adopted by the All India Conference of Secretaries of Legislative Bodies in India. The Commit tee held a sitting on 5.10.17 wherein the ma tter was thoroughly examined with members freely expr essing their views a nd opinions. 8.During the sitting, relevant information like resolutions adopted by the All India Confer ence of P residing Officers and Secretaries of Legislative Bodies in India held in 1998 and the orders issued by other State Legislatures for the upgrada tion of the post of Secretary in their respective Legislative Assemblies to that of the post of Principal Secretary were examined and considered. The Minutes of the Executive Committee Meeting of the North East R egion Commonwealth Parliamentary Association held on 15.01.2005 at 7:30 P.M. at Circuit House, Agartala, Tripura on the eve of the 8th Annual Conference of the NERCPA held at Agar tala, Tripura during 16 –17 January, 2005 attended by 17 (seventeen) members and 1 (one) Observer was also examined in details by the members. The said minutes had st ated that the following resolution would be adopted by the 8th Annual Conference of North East Region Commonwealth Parliamentary Association to be held at Agartala on 16th and 17th January, 2005 : “The resolution passed by the Gandhinagar Conference of the All India Conference of Secr etaries of Legislative Bodies held at Delhi on 21 .9.1998 regar ding independent and sepa rate Secretariat for State Legislature is again pursued vigorously by this Conference.
