Full Text
Rules made in accordance with section 129 or section 130 shall be published in the Official Gazette and shall from the date of publication or from such other date as may be specified have the force of law.
Plain English Summary
Section 131 mandates that rules framed under Section 129 (original civil procedure) or Section 130 (administrative non-procedural matters) must be published in the Official Gazette, upon which they acquire the full force of law from the date of publication or as specified.
Key Legal Elements
- Compulsory Gazette Publication: Rules framed under Sections 129 and 130 must be officially published in the Gazette.
- Enforceability Benchmark: Acquires the binding force of law from the publication date or specified prospective date.
- Legal Validity: Formal promulgation satisfies the essential constitutional requirements of delegated legislation.
Practical Note
Promulgation Requirement for Original Side and Administrative Rules: Publication in the Official Gazette under Section 131 is an indispensable condition precedent before High Court Original Side Rules or supervisory administrative rules gain legal enforceability. Without gazette publication, litigants or subordinate judicial officers cannot be compelled to adhere to unpublished rules or practice directions.
