R.A. Prasad Vs. the Food Corporation of India

Court: Delhi

Decided on: Apr-12-1983

Reported in: ILR1983Delhi285

Avadh Behari Rohatgi, J.(1) This case concerns the Food Corporation of India (the Corporation). This Corporation was established by the Food Corporation Act, 1964. Section 45 of the Act empowers the Corporation to frame regulations. In exercise of this delegated power the Corporation framed the Staff Regulations in 1971.

In essence they are subordinate legislative bodies, but in truth, they are what Lord Maugham described in Rowell vs. Pratt (1938) Ac 101 (1), as domestic bodies which the legislature has thought fit in the public interest to entrust with important statutory powers. The Food Corporation of India (Staff) Regulations, 1971 have the force of statute [See: Kailash Nath vs. State of U. P. Air 1957 Sc 799 (2)]. (3) In recent years the legislature has been creating these corporations in increasingly large numbers. They are created by Acts of Parliament. They are a typ...
