Delegated Legislation in India

Subject: Polity

Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth

Refers to subordinate legislation issued by the executive under powers granted by Parliament. Examples include rules, regulations, and by-laws that detail how primary legislation is implemented. Delegated legislation allows quick adaptation and technical precision, relieving the legislature of micro-level lawmaking. However, concerns arise over lack of parliamentary scrutiny, risk of executive overreach, and complexity. The judiciary can invalidate ultra vires rules that exceed statutory limits. Parliamentary committees on subordinate legislation provide oversight. Understanding delegated legislation clarifies how laws evolve in practice, bridging the gap between broad statutes and day-to-day governance requirements in a vast country.
