CS Executive · Jurisprudence, Interpretation and General Laws · Administrative Laws
Parliament passes an Act that authorises the Central Government to frame rules for carrying out the purposes of the Act. The rules framed by the Government under this authority are best described as:
The rules are delegated legislation. Parliament, through the parent Act, has authorised the executive to make subordinate rules to carry out the Act's purposes. They derive their force from the enabling Act, unlike ordinances, which the President issues when Parliament is not in session.
- ADelegated legislationCorrect
- BJudicial precedent
- CAn ordinance under Article 123
- DA constitutional amendment
Explanation
When the legislature enacts a parent Act and empowers the executive to make rules, the resulting rules are delegated (subordinate) legislation. An ordinance is issued by the President only when Parliament is not in session, so it is not the right description here. Rules under an enabling Act are not precedents or amendments.
