43. The larger Bench judgment of the Apex Court in the
case of Krishna Kumar Singh & Anr. vs. State of Bihar & Ors.,
(supra) relied upon by the petitioners as also respondents needs
a look in this backdrop. The Hon'ble Apex Court in para 93 has

whatsoever. In paragraph 100, the Hon'ble Apex Court holds
that once an Ordinance is placed before Legislature,
Constitutional fiction by which it has the same force and effect
as a LAW enacted, comes into force and relates back to the date
of Ordinance. In the absence of this compliance, this
constitutional fiction does not come into existence.
