In the Indian system of subordinate legislation, which form is correctly paired with the body that makes it?
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C.
1. The ICSI text classifies subordinate legislation into five forms: Executive, Judicial, Municipal, Autonomous, and Colonial.
2. **Municipal Legislation** is correctly described as: **'Municipal authorities are entrusted with limited and sub-ordinate powers of establishing special laws applicable to the whole or any part of the area under their administration known as bye-laws.'**
3. Executive Legislation = rules framed by the Government under various Acts (the opposite of option A). Judicial Legislation = rules framed by High Courts under Guardians and Wards Act, Insolvency Act, Succession Act, Companies Act etc. (not colony-made law). Autonomous Legislation = regulations of Universities and similar autonomous bodies (the opposite of option D).
4. Colonial Legislation = laws made by colonies under the supreme legislation of the controlling country.
