Can you draw parallels between the concept of 'Doctrine of Colourable Legislation' in Indian and British law?
In both Indian and British law, the 'Doctrine of Colourable Legislation' means that the legislature cannot do indirectly what it is not permitted to do directly. It prevents misuse of legislative powers. However, the application differs. While in India it is used as a tool of judicial review to maintain federal equilibrium, in the UK, it applies in the context of delegated legislation, as the Parliament is sovereign and can legislate on any subject.
