Mode of conferring powers
AI Assist
Summary
High Courts or the State Government may, by order, empower particular persons either by name, by virtue of their office, or whole classes by official title when exercising powers under this Code. The empowerment must be made by an order. The order only takes effect from the date it is communicated to the person who is empowered.
Example
Ravi is named by the State Government as authorised to take certain evidence under the Code. When the order reaches Ravi, his authority to act starts from the date he was informed. Until Ravi is communicated the order, he cannot exercise those powers.
