18. It is not possible to accept the contention that the expression 'President may, after consultation with the Speaker of the House of People or the Chairman of the Council of States' negates the principle of delegation. The word 'consultation' used in Article 98(3) cannot be given the same connotation and meaning as used in Article 124, Article 217 and Article 233 of the Constitution. The word 'consultation' has to be interpreted and given a meaning depending on the context, object and purpose behind a particular Article. The word 'consultation' is also used in Article 320 of the Constitution. Article 320 relates to duties of the Union in State Public Services Commission. Clause 3 of Article 320 stipulates that Union Public Services Commission or the State Public Services Commission shall be consulted to on various aspects including all matters relating to civil services and civil posts. Interpreting Clause 3 of Article 320 the Supreme Court, in State of U.P. vs. Manbodhan Lal Srivastava, AIR 1957 SC 912 and Ram Gopal Chaturvedi vs. State of MP, (1969) 2 SCC 240, has held that "consultation" is not mandatory and will not make the action taken on account of default of 'consultation,' as null and void. The word 'consultation' used in Clause 3 to Article 320 is to confer proper assistance to the Government but omission or irregularity to have/make consultation does not confer any legal or constitutional right.
