Ravi and Sunil are partners in a firm in Lucknow. The Central Government, using power given by an Act of Parliament, frames detailed rules to carry out the Act's purposes. What is this kind of law-making called?

This is delegated legislation. Parliament authorises the executive or another authority in an Act to frame detailed rules or regulations to carry out the Act's purposes. It differs from judicial precedent, constitutional amendment or custom, which arise from courts, special amendment procedure or usage.
