+<WRAP center round info 95%>
+**In one line:** Every rule made under Sections 27 and 28 must be laid before the appropriate Parliament or State Legislature (or, for competent-authority rules, the appropriate House) for 30 days. The House can modify or annul the rule. This is the legislative check on the executive rule-making power.
+</WRAP>
+===== Key points =====
+  * **29(1)** — Central Government rules under Section 27 laid before Parliament for 30 days.
+  * **29(2)** — State Government rules under Section 27 laid before State Legislature.
+  * **29(3)** — Competent-authority rules under Section 28 laid before appropriate House.
+  * Modification or annulment vote by the House binds the rule.
+===== Legislative history =====
+No amendments.
+===== Rulings and references =====
+  * No substantive jurisprudence — procedural provision.
+===== Practical note =====
+If you want to challenge a rule made under Section 27/28, check whether it was properly laid under Section 29. Failure to lay can be a procedural ground for invalidity.
