U. P. Ordinance no. 6 of 1976
U. P. Ordinance no. 33 of 1975
STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS The evil of drinking, specially its prevalence among backward and poor classes, and its evil effects on their economic condition are too well known. Article 47 of the Constitution provides that the State shall endeavour to bring about prohibition of the consumption of intoxicating drinks and drugs. The State Government have decided, as a further step towards total prohibition, to ban immediately all advertisements soliciting the use of or offering for sale any intoxicating liquor. 2. As the State Legislature was not in session the Uttar Pradesh Intoxicating Liquor (Objectionable Advertisements) Ordinance, 1975, was promulgated on October 25, 1975, to carry out the above purpose. 3. In the meantime President's rule was imposed in the State on November 30, 1975 and on account of the commencement of the session of Parliament on January 5, 1976, the said Ordinance would have ceased to operate on February 16, 1976. It was, therefore, repealed by the Uttar Pradesh Intoxicating Liquor (Objectionable Advertisements) Ordinance, 1976, promulgated on February 16, 1976. 4. This Bill is being introduced to replace the said Ordinance No. 6 of 1976.
