(3) In making any rules, the Government may direct that for a breach thereof, the Commissioner may, in the prescribed manner, impose a penalty not exceeding five thousand rupees, and when the breach is continuing, a penalty not exceeding five hundred rupees to be imposed for every day of default during the continuance of such breach. (4) Every rule made under this Act shall be laid, as soon as may be after it is made, before the Legislative Assembly of Delhi while it is in session for a total period of thirty days which may be comprised in one session or two or more successive sessions, and if, before the expiry of the session immediately following the session of the successive sessions aforesaid, the Legislative Assembly agrees in making any modification in the rule or the Legislative assembly agrees that such rule should not be made, the rule shall thereafter have effect only in such modified form or be of no effect, as the case may be; so, that any such modification or annulment shall be without prejudice to the validity of anything previously done or omitted to be done under that rule.
