How does the inconsistency between laws made by Parliament and those made by the Legislatures of States affect their application?
In case of inconsistency between laws made by Parliament and those made by the Legislatures of States, the law made by Parliament prevails, and the State law becomes void to the extent of repugnancy. This principle is based on Article 254 of the Indian Constitution which states that if there is any conflict or inconsistency between a Central law and a State law on a matter in the concurrent list, the Central law will prevail and the State law will be considered void to the extent of repugnancy.
