-

-
Validity of Enactments and Powers - Enactments must align with policy and be within the powers conferred. If powers are abused or the policy is not clear, the enactment or action can be struck down. The court emphasized that the purpose of the law and the clarity of policy are crucial in determining legality. Mukund Das VS State of M. P. - Madhya Pradesh
-
Interpretation of Enactments and Jurisdiction - Courts interpret legislative directions and enactments (e.g., Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Act, 1959) to determine jurisdiction and validity. The interpretation often hinges on the legislative intent and the constituent elements of the law. Sabhanayagar Temple, Chidambaram, represented by its Secretary Podhu Dheekshadhars, Chidambaram VS The State of Tamil Nadu, represented by its Secretary, Department of Tamil Development, Religious & Information Department, Chennai & Others - Madras
-
Ultra Vires and Violation of Legislative Powers - Actions or rules exceeding legislative authority are declared ultra vires and void. For example, executing building contracts beyond legislative powers or rules lacking legal authority are invalid. The sale of goods elements must also conform to legislative provisions; otherwise, such transactions are invalid. DUKHINESWAR SARKAR AND BROTHERS LTD. VS COMMERCIAL TAX OFFICER - Calcutta
-
Validity of Notices and Circulars - Notices issued by authorities (e.g., banks, CBDT circulars) found to be unconstitutional or invalid are quashed. The courts emphasized that mere possibility of abuse does not render provisions ultra vires; the actual procedural or substantive illegality is critical. Circular explanations declared unconstitutional were struck down, and notices were set aside. Shankuntla Devi Agrawal VS Union Of India - Rajasthan, Hari Kishan Das Swami Chela Shri Onkar Das VS Income Tax Officer, Ward-7(2) - Rajasthan
-
Legislative Authority and Inconsistencies - Enactments declared valid or invalid based on their consistency with constitutional provisions, such as Articles 301 and 305, and whether they are within the legislative competence. Notifications under existing laws that are not repugnant to constitutional provisions are upheld. G. Venkata Ramaiah VS State Of A. P. - Andhra Pradesh
-
Analysis and Conclusion
- Enactments or acts are declared bad in law primarily when they exceed legislative authority, violate constitutional principles, lack clarity, or are based on invalid explanations or circulars. The courts consistently uphold the importance of legislative intent, constitutional compatibility, and procedural correctness. When these elements are absent or violated, the law or action is struck down to maintain constitutional integrity and legal certainty.
