Summarize the following court judgment. iminal Appeal No.30 of 1970. Appeal by special leave from the judgment and order dated June 19	 1969 of the Judicial Commissioner 's Court	 Goa	 Daman and Diu in Criminal Revision Application 23 of 1968. M. C. Chagla	 E. C. Agarwala and section R. Agarwal	 for the appellant. V. A. Seyid Muhammad and section P. Nayar	 for the respondents. The Judgment of the Court was delivered by Sikri	 J. This appeal by special leave is from the judgment and order of the Judicial Commissioner	 Goa	 Daman & Diu	 allowing the revision application under section 435 of the Indian Code of Criminal Procedure filed by the State. The only point involved in this appeal is whether the order passed by the Lt. Governor dated November 6	 1963	 was invalid. This order reads as under : "ORDER GAD 74 63 25007 In exercise of the powers conferred by the Goa	 Daman and Diu (Administration) Removal of Difficulties Order	 1962 and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any law for the time being in force in this Territory	 the Lieutenant Governor makes the following order : All criminal proceedings in relation to offenses committed prior to the date of coming into force of the Criminal Procedure Code shall be carried on under the law in force in the Territory before that date. By order and in the name of the Lieutenant Governor of Goa	 Daman and Diu." Before dealing with the question of the validity of this order it is necessary to give a few facts. On December 20	 1961	 Goa	 Daman and Diu became part of the territory of India. The residence of the appellant was raided on June 25	 1963	 and 72 bars of gold were seized. On November 1	 1963	 the Goa	 Daman and Diu (Laws) Regulation	 1962 (Regulation No. XII of 1962) hereinafter referred to as the Regulation was promulgated by the President and published in the Gazette on November 22	 1962. The effect of section 3 of the Regulation	 read with the Schedule	 was inter alia to extend the provisions of the Code of Criminal Procedure	 1898	 to Goa	 Daman and Diu. 716 Section 3 (2) of the Regulation enabled the Lt. Governor to fix the date of coming into force of the Act in Goa	 Daman and Diu. It appears that by notification dated September 24	 1963	 the date of the coming into force of the Indian Penal Code and the Code of Criminal Procedure was changed from October 1	 1963	 to November 1	 1963. Accordingly	 it is the latter date on which the Code of Criminal Procedure came into force in Goa	 Daman and Diu. Section 7 of the Regulation provides: "Until the relevant provisions of the Code of Criminal Procedure	 1898	 are brought into force in Goa	 Daman and Diu	 all offenses under any Act shall be investigated	 inquired into	 tried and otherwise dealt with according to the provisions of the corresponding law in force in Goa	 Daman and Diu." The effect of section 7	 as is clear from the section	 was that offenses committed prior to the coming into force of the Criminal Procedure Code were to be investigated	 inquired into	 etc.	 under the provisions of the corresponding law in force in Goa	 Daman and Diu. Section 8 of the Regulation provides "If any difficulty arises in giving effect in Goa	 Daman and Diu	 to the provisions of any Act extended by this Regulation to that Union territory	 the Central Government may	 by order in the Official Gazette	 make such provisions or give such directions as appear to it to be necessary for the removal of the difficulty. " it appears that some difficulties were experienced by the Lt. Governor and he purported to pass the impugned order which we have set out above. It will be noticed that the impugned order does not refer to section 8 of the Regulation but refers instead	 to Goa	 Daman and Diu (Administration) Removal of Difficulties Order	 1962. We have seen this Order and it is common ground that this Order did not enable the Lt. Governor to pass the impugned order. On April 20	 1966	 a complaint was filed against the appel lant in the Court of Judicial Magistrate 1st Class	 Margao	 under the Defence of India Rules. The prosecution was challenged on various grounds but these grounds failed before the Judicial Magistrate. The order of the Judicial Magistrate is not on the record. A revision was filed to the Sessions Judge	 who first discussed the question of jurisdiction. He held that by virtue of 717 the impugned order the procedure to be followed in the case is one laid down by the Portuguese Criminal Procedure Code and not by the (Indian) Code of Criminal Procedure	 1898. On a revision filed by the State	 the learned Judicial Com missioner came to the conclusion that the impugned order was ultra vires. He agreed with the Government pleader that the impugned order was not in conformity with the 19612 Order [Goa	 Daman and Diu (Administration) Removal of Difficulties Order] passed by the Central Government. It is common ground that if a power subsists and the Lt. Governor call justify the impugned order under any law	 the appellant is not debarred from relying on that law. It seems to us that section 8 of the Regulation clearly authorised the Lt. Governor to pass the impugned order. The learned counsel for the State says that the word "diffi culty" in section 8 of the Regulation has to be interpreted in a very narrow sense and in this connection relies on the following observations of Hidayatullah	 I.	 as he then was	 in Jalan Trading Co. (Private) Ltd. vs Mill Mazdoor Union( '): "The order	 of course	 would be passed within the four comers of the parliamentary legislation and would only apply the Act to concrete cases as the courts do when they consider the application of an Act. " He says that there was no concrete case arising in this case and	 therefore	 the impugned order cannot be justified by reference to section 8 of the Regulation. But Hidayatullah	 J.	 was in minority and Shah	 J.	 speaking for the majority	 proceeded on the basis that the section under consideration authorised the Government to determine for itself what the purposes of the Act were and to make provisions for removal of doubts or difficulties. Shah	 J.	 did not give any limited	 meaning to the word "difficulty" in that case. We may mention here that neither the appellant nor the res pondent has urged before us that section 8 of the Regulation itself is invalid. It seems to us that difficulty was bound to arise in giving effect to the Code of Criminal Procedure because	 this Code contemplates investigation and trial under the Code. If investigations had been done under the Portuguese Criminal Procedure Code	 unless there was some clear provision to deem that investigation as investigation under the Code of Criminal Procedure	 fresh (1) ; 	59. 718 investigations under the Code of Criminal Procedure would have to be undertaken. Be that as it may	 whatever the difficulties which impelled the Lt. Governor to act	 he was competent to make provisions to remove the difficulties. We may mention that although section 8 of the Regulation enables the Central Government to remove the difficulty	 by reading the definition of the "Central Government ' in the General Clauses Act	 the Administrator of Goa	 Daman and Diu is en titled to exercise the powers of the Central Government	 and the Lt. Governor is the Administrator of Goa	 Daman and Diu. We are accordingly of the opinion that the impugned order is valid and the prosecution must be conducted in accordance with its provisions. in the result the appeal is allowed	 the judgment and order of the Judicial Commissioner set aside and that of the learned Sessions Judge restored. V.P.S. Appeal allowed.

Under section 3(2) of the Goa	 Daman and Diu (Laws) Regulation	 1962. November 1	 1963	 was the date fixed for coming into force of the Indian Po" Code and the Indian Code of Criminal Procedure in Goa	 Daman and Diu. Under section 8 of the Regulation if any difficulty arises in giving effect in Goa	 Daman and Diu	 to any Act extended to that territory the Central Government may make provision for the removal of the difficulty. As some difficulties were experienced regarding the law relating to criminal procedure the Lt. Governor	 on November 6. passed an Order	 not under section 8 of the Regulation	 but in Purported exercise of the powers conferred by the Goa	 Daman and Diu (Administration) Removal of Difficulties Order	 1962	 to the effect that all criminal proceedings in relation to offenses committed prior to the date of coming into force of the Indian Criminal Procedure Code shall be carried on under the law in force in the territory before that date. On June 25	 1963	 some bars of gold were seized from the residence of the appellant and a complaint was filed against him	 in 1966. On the question of the procedure to be followed	 the Judicial Commissioner	 in revision	 held that the Order of November 6	 1963 was ultra vires the Goa	 Daman and Diu (Administration) Removal of Difficulties Order	 1962	 and held that the procedure laid down in the Indian Criminal Procedure Code should be followed. in appeal this Court	 HELD:(1) 'Me Goa	 Daman and Diu (Administration) Removal of Difficulties Order	 1962	 does not enable the Lt. Governor to Pass the Order dated November 6	 1963. But section 8 of the 1962 Regulation autborised him to pass the Order. If the power subsists	 and the Lt. Governor could justify the order under any law	 the parties are not debarred from relying on it. [717 B D] (2) Section 8 of the Regulation authorises the Government to make provision for removal of difficulties. The word 'difficulty ' is not to be construed in the narrow sense of a difficulty with respect to a concrete case. [1717 F] Majority opinion in Jalan Trading Co. (P) Ltd. vs Mill Afazdoor Union	 ; 	 59	 followed. (3) Under the definition of 'Central Government ' in the General clause% Act	 the Lt. Governor	 as the Administrator of Goa	 Daman and Diu is entitled to exercise the powers of the Central Government	 [178 B C] 715 (4) Therefore	 the procedure to be followed in the present case is the one laid down by the Portuguese Criminal Procedure Code and not by the Indian Code of Criminal Procedure.
