“….. A statutory rule, while ever subordinate to the parent statute, is, otherwise, to be treated as part of the statute and as effective. “Rules made under the statute must be treated for all purposes of construction or obligation exactly as if they were in the Act and are to be of the same effect as if contained in the Act and are to be judicially noticed for all purposes of construction or obligation” ( State of U.P . v. Babu Ram Upadhya AIR 1961 SC 751 ; see also Maxwell: INTERPRETATION OF STATUTES, 11th Edn., pp. 4950). So, statutory rules made pursuant to the power entrusted by Parliament are law made by Parliament within the meaning of Article 302 of the Constitution. To hold otherwise would be to ignore the complex demands made upon modern legislation which necessitate the plenary legislating body to discharge its legislative function by laying down broad guide-lines and standards, to lead and guide as it were, leaving it to the subordinate legislating body to fill up the details by making necessary rules and to amend the rules from time to time to meet unforeseen and unpredictable situations, all within the framework of the power entrusted to it by the plenary legislating body.”
