(2) Basic Legal Document: The Constitution sets the broad contours for the
Governance of a Country. While judging the validity of laws enacted
subsequently by the legislative organ of the State, the Judicial organ of the

not stand the test of the Constitution, it is declared ultra vires the Constitution
For eg. NJAC Act judgement; Right to Privacy judgement.

of State and between the Citizen and the State. [Article 262: Inter-State water
disputes] [Article 263: Inter- State Council]
