A.N. PARASURAMAN ETC. vs STATE OF TAMIL NADU

The Supreme Court held that the Tamil Nadu Private Educational Institutions (Regulation) Act, 1966 is ultra vires as it fails to provide adequate guidelines for the exercise of power by the delegated authority, violating Article 29(1)(g) of the Constitution. The Court emphasized that legislative policy and rules of conduct cannot be delegated without sufficient guidance, leading to arbitrary decision-making. Consequently, the entire Act was declared invalid as it could not be severed from its other provisions.
