Preamble.— WHEREAS it is expedient that before an injunction is granted against the Government or any statutory authority, board or corporation set up or established by Government, that notice should issue to the Government or such authority, board or corporation;

      AND, WHEREAS, it is expedient that the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908[3], in its application to the Province of West Pakistan be amended to provide for the giving of such notice;
