It declares that any law inconsistent with or in derogation of Fundamental Rights shall be void. This article lays the foundation for judicial review in India, ensuring the supremacy of the Constitution and protecting individual liberties from legislative and executive encroachment. --- #### **Article 13(1): Pre-Constitutional Laws & the Doctrine of Eclipse** * **Bare Act Language:** "*(1) All laws in force in the territory of India immediately before the commencement of this Constitution, in so far as they are inconsistent with the provisions of this Part, shall, to the extent of such inconsistency, be void.*" * **Explanation:** * This clause deals with laws enacted *before* the commencement of the Constitution (i.e., before January 26, 1950). * It states that if such pre-constitutional laws conflict with Fundamental Rights (contained in Part III of the Constitution), they do not automatically become void or cease to exist. * Instead, they become *inoperative* or *dormant* to the extent of the inconsistency. * This is the **Doctrine of Eclipse**: The Fundamental Rights cast an "eclipse" over the inconsistent pre-constitutional law, making it unenforceable. If the Fundamental Right is later amended or repealed in a way that removes the inconsistency, the eclipsed law can revive and become operative again without re-enactment. * **Key Case Laws & Doctrine:** * **_Bhikhaji Narain Dhakras v. State of Madhya Pradesh (1955)_**: This landmark case enunciated and applied the Doctrine of Eclipse. The Supreme Court held that certain pre-constitutional laws restricting motor vehicle operation were eclipsed by Article 19(1)(g) (freedom to practice any profession). When Article 19(6) was amended to allow the state to nationalize any trade, the eclipsed law revived. --- #### **Article 13(2): Post-Constitutional Laws & the Doctrine of Severability** * **Bare Act
