How does Article 13 relate to other fundamental rights guaranteed by the Indian Constitution?
Article 13 relates to other fundamental rights guaranteed by the Indian Constitution in that it provides a mechanism for dealing with laws that are inconsistent with or derogate from the fundamental rights. It states that any law in force in India that is inconsistent with the provisions of Part III (Fundamental Rights) will be void to the extent of such inconsistency. Additionally, Article 13(2) mandates that the state cannot make any law that takes away or abridges the rights conferred by Part III, and any law made in contravention of this clause shall be void to the extent of the contravention. This ensures that the fundamental rights enshrined in the Indian Constitution are protected from being infringed upon by laws that are inconsistent with them.
