On Streamlining Administrative Relations

On the more problematic issue of the nature and scope of Centre's directions to the States in matters which are in the domain of States' executive power, the Commission, after having examined the views expressed by the States, has come to the conclusion that the powers under Articles 256 and 257 are necessary to remain with the Centre in order to ensure that the Centre's legislative and executive powers are duly honoured by the States. What directions are to be given by the Centre to the States and when, is for the Central Government to decide, keeping in view the exigencies of the circumstances and administrative necessities.
