Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Ram Jawaya Kapur v State of Punjab explains that the Indian Constitution does not apply separation of powers with absolute rigidity. It nevertheless differentiates the essential functions of the legislative, executive and judicial branches. Delegated legislative or limited judicial functions may be exercised by the executive when law permits, but executive action cannot override the Constitution or governing law.
