Section 35:
Inconsistency between laws made by Parliament and laws made by the Legislature of Meghalaya.
(1) If any provision of a law made by the Legislature of Meghalaya is repugnant to any
provision of a law made by Parliament which Parliament is competent to enact, or to any provision of any
existing law with respect to one of the matters enumerated in the Concurrent List in the Seventh Schedule
to the Constitution, then, subject to the provisions of sub-section (2), the law made by Parliament,
whether passed before or after the law, made by the Legislature of Meghalaya, or, as the case may be, the
existing law, shall prevail and the law made by the Legislature of Meghalaya shall, to the extent of the
repugnancy, be void.
(2) Where a law made by the Legislature of Meghalaya with respect to one of the matters enumerated
in the Concurrent List in the Seventh Schedule to the Constitution, which the Legislature of Meghalaya is
competent to enact under this Act contains any provision repugnant to the provision 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 Meghalaya shall, if it has been reserved for the consideration of the President and has
received his assent, prevail in Meghalaya:
Provided that nothing in this sub-section 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 Meghalaya.
