Further, the bench observed that when Parliamentary legislation is read down in the absence of the Union, enormous harm would be caused to the State if they are not heard. Further, if the language of a Section is plain and clear and the validity of the Section is not in question, then reading down is not permissible.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court also said that the bench in the 2011 Judgments has referred to the United States cases without relying on Indian cases which is not suitable, as the difference in the nature of laws between the two countries must be considered when taking guidance from US Supreme Court decisions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court further said that the Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001554022\">10(a)(i)<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002808781\">UAPA<\/a> has been enacted in furtherance of the interest of sovereignty and integrity of India, and these are grounds of the reasonable restrictions under Article 19.
