https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=188646 Rule 3(a) of the Madhya Pradesh Prisoner's Release on Probation Rules, 1964 was upheld as valid delegated legislation because the enabling Act expressly allowed the Government to define classes of offenders eligible for conditional release. The exclusion of prisoners convicted of specified serious offences, including Section 396 of the IPC, was treated as a permissible classification consistent with the reformative policy of the Act and not repugnant to Section 2. The rule did not destroy the statute's object; it merely limited eligibility within the rule-making power. The prior contrary view was overruled. en-us Thu, 06 Feb 2003 00:00:00 +0530 Sat, 10 Dec 2016 12:17:22 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=188646 Rule 3(a) of the Madhya Pradesh Prisoner's Release on Probation Rules, 1964 was upheld as valid delegated legislation because the enabling Act expressly allowed the Government to define classes of offenders eligible for conditional release.
