Can an Act passed by either Parliament or a State Legislature be declared invalid if it fails to obtain the necessary recommendations or previous sanctions mandated by the Constitution?
Yes, an Act passed by either Parliament or a State Legislature can be declared invalid if it fails to obtain the necessary recommendations or previous sanctions mandated by the Constitution. This is explicitly stated in Article 255 of the Indian Constitution which provides that no Act of Parliament or of the Legislature of a State shall be invalid merely on the ground that some recommendation or previous sanction required by this Constitution was not given, if assent to that Act was given either by the Governor or by the President.
