Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the scope of rule-making power under Section 69 in the context of sub-rules related to a specific legal provision. The case involved a challenge to certain sub-rules (xvii and xviii) of Rule 19, with the Court analyzing whether these sub-rules exceeded the authority granted under Section 69. The Court distinguished between existing sub-rules and the impugned ones, ultimately upholding the validity of the rule-making authority exercised. The judgment clarifies the limits of rule-making power within the statutory framework.
