SECTION OF: 1-3

TWELFTH  AMENDMENT

Statement of Objects and Reasons appended to the Constitution (Twelfth Amendment) Bill, 1962 which was enacted as the Constitution (Twelfth Amendment) Act, 1962

STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS

On the acquisition of the territories of Goa, Daman, and Diu with effect from the 20th December 1961, these territories have, by virtue of sub-clause (c) of clause (3) of article 1 of the Constitution, been comprised within the territory of India from that date and they are being administered as a Union territory by the President through an Administrator in accordance with article 239 of the Constitution. It is, however, considered desirable that Goa, Daman, and Diu should be specifically included as a Union territory in the First Schedule to the Constitution. It is also considered that clause (1) of article 240 should be suitably amended to confer power on the President to make regulations for the peace, progress, and good government of Goa, Daman, and Diu, as has been done in the case of Dadra and Nagar Haveli. The Constitution (Twelfth Amendment) Bill, 1962 seeks to make the above-mentioned provisions.
