    "content": "Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 10 of the Bill be amended in sub-clause (1) by (a) inserting the following new paragraph immediately after paragraph (k)– (ka) may, by order in writing and upon the recommendation by the Authority, order the cessation of any upstream petroleum operations where there has been a breach of any provision of this Act; (b) inserting the words “on the recommendation of the Authority” immediately after the word “may” in the opening clause of paragraph (l); The Committee proposes to amend sub-clause (1) of Clause 10 to confer to the CS powers to order cessation of operation by a contractor where there has been a breach of the provision of the Act. This will be an addition to the powers conferred under paragraph (1) which confers on the CS powers to order the withdrawal of persons from premises and cessation of operation where the safety of persons in the area of operation is affected. These powers are also to be exercised in consultation with the authority in order to limit the discretion that will be exercised by the CS in such a situation, given the impact of such a decision, and to ensure that the decision that is made is an informed decision."
