Gopal S: are we to believe that the residuary power...

J Bagchi: residuary power has to be read with art. 325

Gopal S: is it so wide that it will overpower what's prescribed in rules?

J Bagchi: You admit that sub-section (3) has overriding effect over (2). (3) gives special revision powers which is definitely different from ordinary revision envisaged in (2)

Gopal S: sub-section (3) is not to be used in a routine manner, it's for special cases. that's what the residual power is for. the very fact that rules are placed before parliament means there are strong procedures for 'preparation' and 'revision'. that entire gamut of procedure for 74 years, without a demur.
