(2) A law made by Parliament, which applies in any State, may, notwithstanding that it relates to a matter with respect to which the Legislature of the State has no power to make laws, confer powers and impose duties, or authorise the conferring of powers and the imposition of duties, upon the State or officers and authorities thereof.

42. It is in exercise of that power that Section 9(2) of the Central Act has been enacted. Availing of the services of the hierarchy of the functionaries functioning under the State Act and conferfnent of powers on them, providing for the procedure to be followed by them and imposition of duties upon them in terms of the procedural, remedial and other provisions devised thereunder to enable them to administer various provisions of the Central Act falls squarely within the scope of Clause (2) of Article 258 and cannot legitimately be contended to be unauthorised or excessive delegation on the part of the Parliament in favour of the State or the authorities administering the State Act.
