Foreward
1. ‘Engineering’ term is very widely used, without elaborating any bound
2. Development of world has been continuing for long centuries/milleniums
3. When this term ‘Engineering’ did not exist, development then also, continued
4. Examples are development during Ramayana & Mahabharata era
5. Shri Vishwakarma has been understood spiritually, to be first maker for development
6. ‘Engineering’ has started its birth, only due to considerable degree of scientific evolution & values
derived from ‘state of art applied sciences’
7. Systems existed prior to understanding by human being, due to fact that nature is perfect ‘engineer’,
perfect ‘designer’, perfect ‘architect’ & perfect ‘doctor’
8. It is not easy to understand what nature declares, since nature works on complete & perfect designs,
which preliminarily, cannot be conceived by human being
9. ‘Architecture’ is described as an art, to bring on to paper, minds & souls imaginations
10. ‘Engineering’ is understood to be a combination of ‘arts & science’, since it radiates globally, drawing its
spectrum from all ‘applied sciences’ fields
11. Applied science brings in an extremely, significant systems based, devised world into further broader
world of ‘Engineering’
12. ‘Engineering’ cannot be worked out, without involving applied sciences to deliver products
13. Therefore, it is too formal only, to constitute ‘Engineering’ into a term ‘Profession’, since ‘profession’
term is limited to an extent, its virtual applications are concerned
14. As a part of an art, what an Engineer thinks, is off Engineering profession, since ‘Engineering’ is based
upon systems only, while imagination being necessary for creation of art, cannot be proven
15. It is for deliberation purpose only, valid that ‘Engineering’ requires to be defined, within ambit of law, so
that works may be carried out, under defined safe & sustainable controls

Engineers Registration
1. For purpose of regulation of practicing engineers, in particular respecting civil engineers, a
convention has been surviving for many decades in almost every state in India/ Bharat that
municipalities conduct certain documentation for granting licenses to engineers on an
yearly basis
2. It is regretted that such registering practice has not been based on/or supported by certain
competently, defined statutory authorized procedure at all
3. Urban development authorities including municipalities, that draw relevant powers of
implementation of respective schemes from Constitution of India, Article 243W, Schedule
12, Power/Charter of Municipalities, do or effect, all such irregular ‘engineers registrations’
under an arbitrary applied bye law
4. Schedule 12, enshrined within Constitution of India does not anywhere, on its list, either
provide or suggest or direct, inclusive mandate for control of Engineering
profession/professionals registration/regulation or relevant invested trust on such
constitutional & statutory agencies or bodies, meant for urban maintenance/development
5. Unfortunately, all such authorities do condone other rightful national provisions on statute
such as IEI Royal Charter, which had been ordered by UK rulers in 1935, with an objective
to mandate to control & regulate Practice of Engineering in India through IEI
empowerment
6. This charter authorises its ‘corporate members’ to practice as engineering professionals in
description entitling Chartered Engineer (India) in reference to corporate membership
7. A brief explanation pertinent that charter has been included herein for your appraisal

Her Majesty's Prerogative Powers
by Scott Thompson
Printed in American Almanac, August 25, 1997.
Idea of a ``constitutional monarchy'' is a myth. All that exists are ``oaths of allegiance'' to monarch.
Without need for parliamentary authority, Queen Elizabeth has Royal Prerogative Powers.
Following partial list of those powers is from authoritative Burke's Peerage and Baronetage:
1. Queen alone may declare war at her pleasure;
2. as commander-in-chief, Queen may choose and appoint all commanders and officers by land, sea, and air;
3. Queen may convoke, adjourn, remove, and dissolve Parliament;
4. Queen may dismiss prime minister and choose, whom she will as replacement;
5. Queen can choose and appoint all judges, councillors, officers of state, magistrates;
6. Queen can choose and appoint all archbishops (including Archbishop of Canterbury, who is primus inter pares in Anglican Communion), bishops, and high
ecclesiastical dignitaries; as ``Sovereign is first in honor, dignity and in power--and seat and fountain of all three,'' Queen may bestow all public honors,
including creating a peerage for membership in House of Lords or bestowing an order of chivalry;
7. Queen alone may conclude treaties;
8. Queen may initiate criminal proceedings, and she alone can bestow a pardon.
9. Some of these powers are exercised on advice of cabinet ministers or others, and principal vehicle through which Queen receives such advice--apart from
weekly or more frequent meetings with prime minister--is through a body known as Privy Council.
The Privy Council
According to Privy Council's own public documents, there are 390 members of Council, who are appointed for life.
Privy Council serves as a vehicle for Queen's use of her Prerogative Powers, because it is a council with representatives
from all branches of Venetian oligarchy, including: peers from House of Lords, prime minister, Law Lords, all cabinet
officers, leaders of Loyal Opposition in Parliament, prominent individuals in City of London, and leading members of
established Anglican Communion.
Privy Council is above Parliament, including House of Lords, because of Queen's Prerogative Powers.
However, Privy Council not only serves as a vehicle for exercise of Queen's Prerogative Powers, but its offices also enact statutory powers
delegated by various Acts of Parliament. It has its own Order of Precedence, which begins with HRH Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, KG, KT, OM, GBE; then, HRH Prince Charles, Prince of Wales, KG, KT GCB;
next come George Leonard Carey, Archbishop of Canterbury, and Lord High Chancellor Lord Mackey of Clashfern; and finally arriving at [former] Prime Minister and First Lord of the Treasury John Major, and, very far
down the list, Labour Party leader [now Prime Minister] Anthony Charles Lynton Blair. The fact that Tony Blair was made a member of the Privy Council on July 27, 1994, helps explain why there is not a dime's worth
of difference between his policies and those of Tory Prime Minister Major or his predecessor, Lady Margaret Thatcher. As Blair's factional opponent in Labour, Anthony Wedgwood Benn, revealed, based upon personal
experience: All members of the Privy Council must take an oath of allegiance to uphold the Queen and her actions. Such oaths are the basis of the myth that the British Empire represents a ``constitutional monarchy.''
The Privy Council also has statutory powers that have been conferred by a variety of enactments, and they are exercised either by ``Orders in Council'' (i.e., by the sovereign in Council) or by ``Orders of Council'' (i.e., by
the Lords of the Privy Council).

 Initiation of Institution of Engineers (India) / A brief past
1. Consequent upon Industrial Commission report, an institution was established to serve
engineering profession in India in 1920, now named by title ‘The Institution of Engineers
(India)’ registered under then ‘Indian Companies Act’
2. Its general objectives had been to initiate, apply, promote & advance engineering for industrial
development throughout India, so as to achieve target for national development accomplishment
3. Institution performed to carry out its obligations successfully, while commenced with conducting
examination respecting IEI [‘section A & section B’ pass certification] for students to achieve
[equivalent Bachelor degree in engineering], by process of students appearing in & passing, to
lead to designated AMIE(corporate membership), IEI section A & B examination/an informal
engineering bachelor degree equivalent, effective 1928 & has still been continuing this
educational activity, since then
4. Later, institution moved a Petition for obtaining a Royal Charter of incorporation on HM King,
George fifth, for grant of a Royal Charter of Incorporation
5. A ‘Royal Charter of Incorporation’ was then approved & granted to IEI, then existing institution
in 1935, which Royal Charter enacted IEI on Royal List
6. Since then this institution has been functioning under ‘Charter Statute” mandated by on ‘Royal
Charter’ of its ‘Incorporation’ ‘1935’ by Title of Charter ‘The Institution of Engineers (India)’
‘Charter 1935’
7. There has been issued no further order or notification, either amendment or modification or repeal
or abrogation or destruction or deferment or suspension or abeyance order, pertinent this Royal
Charter, since its coming into force in India / Bharat
8. Fact remains that The Institution of Engineers (India) Charter 1935 is still in force of a law in
India/Bharat, which should be considered accordingly, by everyone & all citizens

FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS
General
Constitution of India Article 12
In this Part, unless the context otherwise requires, “the State’’ includes the Government and
Parliament of India and the Government and the Legislature of each of the States and all local or
other authorities within the territory of India or under the control of the Government of India.
Comments
1. Foregoing fundamental right article defining ‘State’ is very significant in present context,
2. Since this provision defines ‘State’, it should be considered as follows
3. The Institution of Engineers (India) has been empowered by a Royal Charter since 1935, which is classified as a constitutional document, as
devised & ordered by then HM UK Empire King Under Royal prerogative & all other powers conferred on HM king
4. This piece of documented Public Law/Act, authorizes this body IEI in capacity as ‘Other Authority’ in India/ Bharat, leading to achieve Status of
State, though not covered under funding & direct control by Government of India, since it is self financing institute & governs self, as well being
autonomous, while it serves important functions pertinent Indian society, by qualifying students, as engineering equivalent degree graduates
5. Since it is a part of India as an Equivalent/Extended State, IEI becomes chartered/equivalent statutory body based on its empowerment by Royal
Charter 1935, an Royal Authority/Act of incorporation, which means that IEI is an equivalent statutory corporation functioning in India to effect
state delegated statutory functions, such as certifying Chartered Engineers(India) on behalf of Republic of India/Bharat, as well as regulating
Engineering on similar behalf in India/Bharat
6. Which also, means that each authority or functionary included within all letter patents on its warrant, are statutory or chartered in legal nature &
are ‘Alternate Authorities’ to function in India, since IEI has been designated as body corporate & politic
7. All chartered engineers & corporate members etc. should be deemed authorised by hon’ble President of India, for purpose of evaluating or
calculating power on described designation
8. All official/officers/authorities should regard that & extend that value to all such practicing Chartered Engineers(India), avoiding contradiction
between authority’s arbitrary imposed local law/s & provisions within constitution of India as well as, provisions within this IEI Charter 1935
9. Pertinent construction of this Article 12, cumulative effect of all following factors has to be seen for testing criteria: Judicial Procedure,
which requires only, one factor to be proven for its application to designate body corporate a State under Article 12 of COI
a. “If entire share capital of corporation is held by government, it would go a long way towards indicating that corporation is an instrumentality or
agency of government.”
b. Existence of “deep and pervasive State control may afford an indication that Corporation is a State agency or instrumentality.”
c. “It may also be a relevant factor, whether corporation enjoys monopoly status, which is whether State conferred or State protected.”
d. “If the functions of corporation are of public importance and closely related to governmental functions, it would be a relevant factor in
classifying corporation as an instrumentality or agency of government.” (this test factor successfully, applies on to IEI to be government agency)
e. “Specifically, if a department of government is transferred to a corporation, it would be a strong factor supportive of this inference” of corporation
being an instrumentality or agency of government. ENGINEERING & IEI ROYAL CHARTER-BY INT PE SURAJ 57

with foreign States, public order, decency or morality, or in relation to contempt of court, defamation or incitement to
an offence.]
(6) Nothing in sub-clause (g) of the said clause shall affect the operation of any existing law in so far as it imposes,
or prevent the State from making any law imposing, in the interests of the general public, reasonable restrictions on
the exercise of the right conferred by the said sub-clause, and, in particular, [nothing in the said sub-clause shall
affect the operation of any existing law in so far as it relates to, or prevent the State from making any law relating

occupation, trade or business, or (ii) the carrying on by the State, or by a corporation owned or controlled by the
State, of any trade, business, industry or service, whether to the exclusion, complete or partial, of citizens or
otherwise].
Comments-

1. This provision also, does not direct or suggest for authorizing all such bodies to conduct
deciding & implementing engineering professionals’ competencies or to conduct
registration of engineers or whatever essential or required matters or issues connected

2. Therefore, it is advised & suggested that on an exclusive basis, only IEI should be
involved in authorising engineers for certification of competencies & regulation of
engineering profession, for mandating decision over competencies & deciding scope
pertinent professional practice that Chartered Engineer (India) may own or oblige
with, while carrying out professional engineering activities in whatever manner

(ii) the performance of functions and the implementation of schemes as may be entrusted

Comments-
1. Schedule 12 included within Constitution of India, clearly states that there exists no
such statutory provision that allows, either municipalities or local bodies or state
authorities, to operate engineering regulation & registration pertinent engineers
2. This means that all registrations conducted by all such bodies do not refer to any
statutory provision, as required under mandate of Constitution of India to protect
adverse impact on fundamental right of professional engineering citizen or others
3. Demanding prospective practicing engineer to apply for registration with concerned
agency or municipality or authority, amounts to condemnable arbitrary application of
undefined law, which conduct of such agency is certainly unconstitutional
4. Fact remains that no authority in India/ Bharat has gotten any mandate to demand or
instruct for certain act, without referring to provisions of related applicable law
5. Conclusion is that regulation of engineers & respective professional competencies do
not fall within statutory powers, conferred on all such bodies or authorities, except

 Conclusion & Advise continued from previous slide
1. No other authority or Institution in India/Bharat is authorized to issue such certifications,
designating persons as ‘Engineers’ on ‘statutory’ basis
2. It should also, be noticed that whatever description of educational degree would have been
issued to whomsoever, that degree does not notify, description or designation as ‘Engineer’ in
any way, but grant of description of educational degree only, such as BE/B Tech or
others/ME/M Tech/PhD or others, whatsoever
3. Every engineering educated professional should apply to IEI only, for obtaining a state
diploma on application form for obtaining AMIE election certificate, which is a minimum
criteria/requirement to obtain Chartered Engineer (India) certification
4. Noticeable is also, true that no designation on any other statute exists by description of
‘Engineer’, which is formally described on engineering related contracts only, on both
national as well as, on international basis
5. IEI membership is a state document, which cannot be disregarded
6. Chartered Engineers (India) certificate is a state document
7. Professional Engineer (India) & International PE (India), certificate is a state document
8. Accordingly, these documents direct all authorities, commissioners, administrators, officers &
others, to accept certified designations, as indicated by IEI Charter statute, applicable in
India/Bharat, without causing any issue for obstructing designated functionary, preventing
functionary, either to work or from working in engineering as practitioner, in qualified
disciplines, whatsoever, provided person produces an authenticated certificate, issued by The
