CA Foundation · Business Laws · Indian Regulatory Framework

Parliament passed the Indian Contract Act, 1872 for the whole country. Later, Government of a State wants to frame detailed rules to apply a different statute, under power given by that statute itself to the State Government. Such rules made by the executive under authority given by a legislature's Act are best described as:

Such rules are delegated legislation. The legislature's Act authorises the executive or another body to make detailed rules, regulations or bye-laws. This differs from an ordinance, which is issued when the legislature is not in session, and from judicial precedent, which is created by courts.

Explanation

When a legislature's Act authorises the executive or another authority to make rules, regulations or bye-laws, the result is delegated (subordinate) legislation. An ordinance is issued by the President or Governor when the legislature is not in session. A constitutional amendment requires Parliament's special procedure. A precedent comes from courts.
