Section 59 of the Act reads: 59: Functions of the Commissioner; "Save as otherwise provided in this Act, the entire executive power for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Act other than those pertaining to the Delhi Electric Supply Undertaking and of any other Act for the time being in force which confers, any power or imposes any duty on the Corporation, shall vest in the Commissioner who shall also (a) exercise all the powers and perform all the duties specifically conferred or imposed upon him by this Act or by any other law for the time being in force; (b) prescribe the duties of, and exercise supervision and control over the acts and proceedings of, all municipal officers and other municipal employees other than the Municipal Secretary and the Municipal Chief Auditor and the municipal officers and other municipal employees immediately subordinate to them and subject to any regulation that may be made in this behalf, dispose of all questions relating to the service of the said officers and other employees their pay, privileges, allowances and other conditions of service; (c) on the occurrence or threatened occurrence of any sudden accident or any unforeseen event or natural calamity involving or likely to involve extensive damage to any property of the Corporation, or danger to human fife, take such immediate action as he considers necessary and made a report forth with to the Standing Committee and the Corpo ration of the action he has taken and the reasons for the same as also of the amount of cost, if any, incurred or 657 likely to be incurred in consequence of such action, which is not covered by a budget grant; (d) exercise the powers and perform the duties conferred or imposed by or under this Act upon the General Manager (Electrici ty) in this absence or on failure by him to exercise or perform the same." This Section clearly shows that the Municipal Commissioner had wide powers and he could therefore exercise powers to impose the penalty as contemplated under Section 464.
