Where the Central Act or Regulation confers a power to issue notifications, orders, rules or bye-laws, Section 21 of the General Clauses Act provides that the power so conferred includes:
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C.
1. Section 21 says: 'Where, by any Central Act or Regulation, a power to issue notifications, orders, rules or bye-laws is conferred, then that power includes a power, exercisable in the like manner and subject to the like sanction and conditions (if any), to **add to, amend, vary or rescind** any notifications, orders, rules or bye-laws so issued.'
2. So the power to issue carries the full life-cycle: addition, amendment, variation and rescission.
3. The conditions and sanctions that applied to the original issuance apply equally to any subsequent change.
4. Options A and C truncate the power; option D substitutes a delegation power that Section 21 does not provide.
