"content": "One of the things he does in Clause 20 is that he gives Parliament power. Of course, Article 124 of the Constitution gives power in terms of issuing summonses and penalties. Clause 20 seeks to give the power of Parliament to issue fines and such like things. It will be interesting to see how the courts will deal with this, especially when Parliament has already imposed fines or certain sanctions. It will then be seen because ordinarily, the power of fines and sanctions is a function of Parliament. So, it will be nice to see how this particular thing works for both Parliament and courts going hand in hand."
