Chapter VII CONTROL OF COTTON-GINNING AND PRESSING FACTORIES

The State Government, or any officer authorised by it in this behalf, may issue to any owner or person in charge of a cotton ginning factory or cotton pressing factory such general or special directions as it or he may think necessary or expedient, for maintaining or increasing the supply of ginned or baled cotton and the owner or such person shall be bound to follow and act upon such directions.

If the State Government is of opinion that it is necessary so to do for maintaining or increasing the production and supply of ginned or baled cotton, it may, by order, published in the Official Gazette, and in such other manner as it deems fit, authorise any person (hereinafter in this section referred to as "an authorised controller") to exercise, with respect to the whole or any part of any specified undertaking which is a cotton ginning factory or cotton pressing factory, such functions of control as may be provided therein, and so long as such order is in force with respect to such undertaking or part thereof—

1. (a) the authorised controller shall exercise his functions in accordance with any instructions given to him by the State Government, so, however, that he shall not have any power to give any direction inconsistent with the provisions of any enactment or any instrument determining the functions of the persons in charge of the management of the undertaking, except in so far as may be specifically provided by the order; and
2. (b) the undertaing or part shall be carried on in accordance with any directions given by the authorised controller under the provisions of the order, and any person having any functions of management in relation to the undertaking or part shall comply with any such directions.
