Pradeep Kumar Bisnnoi vs State Of Rajasthan on 28 February, 2025
17.1. This Court further observes that both these provisions which
expound different requisites contain non obstante clauses
respectively, which ousts the applicability of the other Statute and
corresponding relevant provisions within it. Therefore, for
resolving the controversy at hand, it becomes pertinent to first
answer the question as to which out of the two provisions will
prevail if both of them have a non obstante clause.
17.2. This Court in this regard, observes that as per the judgment
rendered in the case of Kotak Mahindra Bank Limited (supra),
the position of law is that, when two enactments have competing
non obstante provisions and nothing repugnant, then the non
obstante clause of the subsequent statute would prevail over the
earlier enactments and therefore the non obstante clause in the
Act of 2009 would prevail over the non obstante clause in the Act
of 1994.
