Mode of Conferring powers

AI Assist

Summary

The High Court or the State Government may, by order, delegate powers under this Sanhita to specific persons by name, to holders of particular offices, or to entire classes of officials identified by their official titles. The delegated power starts only from the date the order is communicated to the person who is empowered. This applies whenever the Sanhita requires a power to be conferred on an official.

Example

The State Government issues an order empowering Meera, the District Magistrate, to exercise certain Sanhita powers for public assembly management. Meera may exercise those powers only from the date the order is communicated to her.
