Summary

This section provides the newly formed Legislative Assembly of Haryana with an immediate set of operational rules by adopting the existing rules of the Punjab assembly.
It grants the Speaker of the Haryana assembly the authority to modify and adapt these inherited Punjab rules to suit Haryana's needs.
These adopted rules serve as a temporary measure until the Haryana assembly formally creates its own permanent rules under constitutional provisions.
