Chaturvedi (R.P.) And Ors. vs State Of Rajasthan And Ors. on 22 January, 1968
The Allahabad High Court has taken contrary view in Ram Autar Pandey v. State of Uttar Pradesh and Anr. 1962-1 L.L.J. 148 and Vidya Sagar v. Board of Revenue and the learned Judges of the Allahabad High Court in the Full Bench decision in Ram Autar Pandey v. State of Uttar Pradesh and Anr. 1962-1 L.L.J. 148 (vide supra) have observed at p. 158; that ".... The rule-making power conferred by Article 309 on the Governor or his nominee is, therefore, not confined to prospective rule-making and appears to be wide enough to include the making of rules with retrospective effect . . . The legislature, it is well-settled, can legislate prospectively as well as retrospectively. The powers of the Governor under the proviso to Article 309 being identical with that of the legislation under the main article, the Governor can make rules with similar effect."
