Whenever any department of the Secretariat proposes:
(i) to issue a statutory rule, notification
or order; or
(ii) to sanction under a statutory power the
issue of any rules, bye-law, notification or order by a
subordinate authority;
or
(iii) to submit to the Central Government any
draft, statutory rule, notification or order
for issue by them, the concerned Department prepares a draft
which is forwarded to the Law Department for opinion as well
as scrutiny. The draft is examined by the Law Department with
reference to its legal validity and form of drafting. In the
absence of precedents with regard to form of drafting, the
draft is compared with the corresponding rules or notifications
framed by the Government of India or by other State Governments
on the same subject and necessary alterations made. Revised
drafts are also prepared in appropriate cases by the Law Department.
