LEGISLATIVE POWERS ORDER (1959). AMENDED:
CONCURRENT LIST COVERS SUBJECTS OTHER
THAN THOSE RESERVED TO CENTRE.
Karachi. September 23. The President has today promulgated an Order amending the Legislative Powers Order, 1959, which will have the effect of giving the Centre and the Provinces Concurrent Powers of legislation in all fields outside those specifically reserved to the centre under the Constitution of 1956.
The Order has been devised in such a way that no existing laws of a Province will be affected by the mere coming into force of the Order unless they conflict in any way with a law made by the President since the Proclamation of the 7th October, 1958. and then only to the extent of the conflict.
A further consequence of the Order is that if need be the conflict can be resolved by resort to the usual procedure for resolving conflict in the concurrent sphere.
Following is the President's Order No. 17 of 1959:
