enumerated in the Concurrent List, then, subject to the provisions of clause (2), the law made by Parliament, whether
passed before or after the law made by the Legislature of such State, or, as the case may be, the existing law, shall
prevail and the law made by the Legislature of the State shall, to the extent of the repugnancy, be void.
(2) Where a law made by the Legislature of a State 1*** with respect to one of the matters enumerated in the Concurrent
List contains any provision repugnant to the provisions of an earlier law made by Parliament or an existing law with
respect to that matter, then, the law so made by the Legislature of such State shall, if it has been reserved for the
consideration of the President and has received his assent, prevail in that State: Provided that nothing in this clause
shall prevent Parliament from enacting at any time any law with respect to the same matter including a law adding to,
amending, varying or repealing the law so made by the Legislature of the State.
