A repeal can infringe upon constitutional provisions on grounds other than legislative competence if it violates the fundamental principles or basic features of the Constitution, such as the doctrine of the basic structure or the constitutional mandate of responsible government. Specifically, a repeal may be unconstitutional if it undermines the core constitutional values, rights, or the balance of powers established by the Constitution, regardless of whether the legislative authority to enact or repeal laws was properly exercised (!) (!) .

Furthermore, if the repeal affects the constitutional scheme of governance, such as responsible government or the independence and powers of legislative bodies, it can be deemed unconstitutional. This is because the Constitution embodies certain essential features that cannot be altered or overridden by legislation, including repeals. Repealing a law that is integral to the constitutional framework or that protects fundamental rights can thus be challenged on the grounds that it contravenes the constitutional guarantee of the rule of law and the constitutional order (!) (!) .

In essence, even if the legislature has the competence to repeal a law, such a repeal may still be invalid if it contravenes other constitutional provisions, principles, or the fundamental structure of the Constitution, which are protected from legislative alteration.
