Section 86. Powers of Central Government to remove difficulties

If any difficulty arises in giving effect to this Act, the Central Government may, by order published in the Official Gazette, make provisions not inconsistent with the Act as appear necessary to remove the difficulty. No such order can be made after five years from the Act’s commencement, and every order made must be laid before each House of Parliament as soon as possible.
