What does it mean when an Act of Parliament or a State Legislature is said to be invalid by reason only of not obtaining required recommendations or previous sanctions?
When an Act of Parliament or a State Legislature is said to be invalid by reason only of not obtaining required recommendations or previous sanctions, it means that the Act will be considered as null and void if it has been passed without obtaining the necessary recommendations or previous sanctions specified in the Constitution. However, this provision will not make the Act invalid if the President or Governor has given their assent to it, regardless of whether the required recommendations or previous sanctions were obtained or not.
