Pakistan Girl Guides Association Ordinance, 1960

This 1960 Ordinance formally incorporated the Pakistan Girl Guides Association as its own body corporate, removing it from the general Societies Registration Act, 1860, and granting it exclusive rights over its name and insignia -- essentially the counterpart to the Pakistan Boy Scouts Association Ordinance, 1959.

Section 1 gives the short title, confirms it applies to the whole of Pakistan, and states it came into force on a date the Federal Government notified (the footnotes show this was 8 December 1960). Section 2 converts the Association from a registered society into a body corporate with perpetual succession and a common seal, able to acquire, hold, and dispose of property and to sue and be sued in its own name.

Section 3 provides that the Association's constitution, powers, and functions are set by rules the Association makes itself, subject to the Federal Government's prior written approval; until such rules are made, its pre-existing society rules continue in force.

Section 4 gives the Association the sole and exclusive right to its emblems, badges, uniforms, decorations, and titles, including the name "Girl Guides" or any title containing the word "Guides" (again preserving military units' own titles as an exception). Section 5 makes violating this exclusivity an offence punishable by fine, with every knowingly-involved member of a violating company or association also deemed guilty. Section 6 has since been omitted by later amendment.

This is an old ordinance (1960) with amendment footnotes ("Subs. by", "Omitted by" the Federal Laws (Revision and Declaration) Ordinance, 1981), and it does not specify a fine amount for violations, so the actual penalty figure should be checked against the current official text.
