Specially empowered, where power is conferred on a person by name or by virtue of his office, the individual designated by name or as the holder of the office for the time being is empowered specially, Sindhi Lahona Choitram Parasram v. State of Gujarat, AIR 1967 SC 1532 (1533).
The word 'specially' has reference to the special purpose of the empowerment and is not intended to convey the sense of a 'special' as contrasted with a 'general' empowerment. 'Specially' quali-fies the word 'empowered' and not the person on whom the power is conferred. In this view, the State Government is within its competence to confer powers under s. 2(c) of the Act on some or all the Magistrates of the First Class in the State, in any of the modes known to law, and the Magistrate or Magistrates on whom powers are so conferred will be 'specially empowered' within the meaning of s. 2(c), State of Gujarat v. Chaturbhuj Maganlal, AIR 1976 SC 1697 (1700).
