c. 57 according to which, a copy of the Rules of 1889 should also have been 1083 laid before both Houses of Parliament in order to make them valid, Channell, J. said : "I somewhat doubt whether the provisions of section 101 are more than directory and whether it is necessary in any particular case where reliance is placed on such rules to prove that in fact its provisions had been complied with." In Jan Mohammad Noor Mohammad Bagban vs The State of Gujarat & Anr.(1) where it was urged by the petitioner that the rules framed by the Provincial Government in 1941 in exercise of the powers conferred on it under section 26(1) of the Bombay Agricultural Produce Markets Act (22 of 1939) had no legal validity as they were not laid before each of the Houses of the Provincial Legislature at the session thereof next following as provided by sub section (5) of section 26 of the Act, this Court rejected the contention and upheld the validity of the said rules.
