DOCTRINE OF COLORABLE LEGISLATION EVOLUTION: India, a federal country, had a greater influence on the colonial ruling system during the English rule. It also influenced the Constitution to create three pillars of democracy i.e. executive, legislative and judiciary. In Indian Constitution, the separation of powers prevails which should be balanced and maintained between the different organs of the government where the law-making power vests on the legislature, i.e. one organ should not override or interfere over other organs to avoid inconsistency and have cooperation among the organs. In India, this doctrine is enacted to impose a limitation on the law-making power of the legislation.
