Question
Which of the following best explains the concept of "Delegated Legislation"?
Solution
Delegated legislation refers to laws or rules made by an authority (usually part of the executive) under powers delegated to it by the legislature. Since modern legislatures may not have the time or expertise to frame detailed rules, they delegate rule-making powers to administrative authorities, while retaining control through checks like laying procedures or judicial review. • Examples: Rules, regulations, by-laws, notifications made under Acts. • Relevant Case: A.K. Roy v. Union of India (1982) – The Supreme Court upheld the use of delegated legislation subject to parliamentary oversight. • Control Mechanisms: Judicial, legislative, procedural controls.
