Correct Answer:
B. Section 10(2)(d) of the Act
This question asks about the specific legal provision that grants the power to revise forms appended to rules. Section 10(2)(d) of the Act is the correct answer, indicating that specific legislative sections often delegate powers for administrative adjustments, including the revision of official forms. This ensures flexibility in updating procedural documents without requiring a full legislative amendment.
- Section 78 of the Act and Section 40 of the Act are other sections that would likely cover different aspects of the law, not the specific power to revise forms.
- Punjab Procurement Rules 2014 is a set of rules, not a section of an Act that grants the power to revise forms generally; it might contain forms, but the power to revise them stems from an enabling Act.
Identifying the precise legal basis for administrative actions is fundamental.
