Ameerunnissa Begum And Others vs Mahboob Begum And Others on 9 December, 1952
13. The High Court has relied on a decision of this Court in --
'Ameerunnissa Begum v. Mahboob Begum', : [1953]4SCR404 ,
and has held that the Firmans of the Nizam that conflict with the
Constitution are 'ultra vires'. But the learned Judges have failed to
observe that in that case the Firman was issued after the Constitution and
not before. But it was argued that even if that decision does not apply
there are others that do and they hold that a law which would have been bad
if it had been passed after the Constitution ceases to have effect after
that date.
