Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld Section 60 of the Madras Cooperative Societies Act, 1932, affirming that it does not constitute excessive delegation of legislative power. The Court emphasized that the power granted to the Government is intended to further the Act's welfare objectives, allowing for necessary modifications to its provisions. It clarified that while the legislature has the authority to delegate, such delegation must not amount to abdication of its essential functions, and the guidelines provided in the Act must be adhered to.
