Correct Answer:
A. Punjab Government (notification in Gazette)
This question addresses the legislative process for creating subordinate legislation or rules under an Act. The correct answer is Punjab Government (notification in Gazette).
- In parliamentary systems, the executive branch (the government) is typically empowered to make rules to implement the details of an Act passed by the legislature.
- These rules gain legal force only after they are officially published, usually through a notification in the official Gazette, making them publicly accessible and legally binding.
- Special Magistrate, Deputy Commissioner, or Police Department do not typically have the authority to make rules for an entire Act; their roles are usually enforcement or specific administrative functions.
