GST_101st Constitution Amendment Act, 2016_Notification dated 16.09.2016 has left various doubts

Vide Notification dated 10.09.2016 the central government using the powers vested under section 1(2) appointed 12.09.2016 as the date on which the provisions of section 12 of the constitution (101st) amendment act shall come into force… On the other hand, Section 1 of the said amendment Act has been brought into force w.e.f. 16.09.2016, vide Notification dated 16.09.2016. In my view, there was no power delegated upon the Central Government by the Parliament of India to issue Notification under Section 1 (2) of the Constitution Amendment Act, 2016, even without bringing Section 1 into force.
