## LS.US.Q.No. 2744 FOR 10.05.2016

Ltd.  made  certain submission  with  respect  to  'The  Plachimada  Coca-cola  Victims  Relief and Compensation Claims Special Tribunal Bill, 2011', as received from the State Government of Kerala. The said Bill was duly examined as per procedure  in  consultation  with  various  Central  Ministries/Departments concerned and also from the legal and Constitutional angle. The Hon'ble President withheld his assent from the Bill on 20.11.2015 and the same was conveyed to the State Government on 27.11.2015.

(e) : The State Legislations are examined by the Ministry in consultation with  the  Central  Ministries/Departments  concerned  from  three  angles viz.  repugnancy  with  Central  laws,  deviation  from  National  or  Central Policy and legal & Constitutional validity.

Whenever necessary, the State Governments are advised to

## LS.US.Q.No. 2744 FOR 10.05.2016

modify/amend  provisions  of  such  Legislations/Bills  keeping  the above  in  view.  Sometimes,  discussions  are  also  held  with  the  State Governments  and  Ministries/Departments  of  the  Government  of  India with a view to arrive at the final decision. Since such State Legislations are examined in consultation with various Central Ministries/Departments  and  the  concerned  State  Governments,  it  is difficult to fix a time frame for their approval.
