SIDHARTHA SARAWGI vs BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR PORT OF KOLKATA&OR

The Supreme Court examined the principle of 'Delegatus Non Potest Delegare', affirming that a delegate cannot further delegate their powers, particularly in the context of legislative versus non-legislative powers. The Court clarified that while legislative powers cannot be sub-delegated, non-legislative powers may involve delegation but with the ultimate authority remaining with the original delegator. The judgment emphasized the importance of maintaining the integrity of legislative functions and the limitations on delegation, thereby reinforcing established legal principles regarding delegation of authority.
