Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the validity of legislative delegation under Section 7 of the Delhi Laws Act, 1912, Section 2 of the Ajmer-Merwara (Extension of Laws) Act, 1947, and Section 2 of the Part C States (Laws) Act, 1950. The Court held that these provisions allow the government to extend laws with modifications, affirming that such delegation does not violate the principle against delegation of legislative powers. The Court concluded that the laws in question are valid and do not infringe upon the legislative authority of the Parliament.
