5. What is preamble
A preamble is an introductory and
expressionary statement in a document that
explains the document's purpose and
underlying philosophy. When applied to the
opening paragraphs of a statute, it may recite
historical facts pertinent to the subject of the
statute. It is distinct from the long title or
enacting formula of a law.

6. Is it a part of Constitution
• Important Part of the constitution (See Article
7B)
• It is pole-star of constitution
• It is basic structure of constitution
[Anwar Hossain Chowdhury v Bangladesh 41
DLR (AD )165]

7. operative part?
• Traditionally, it is not considered to be an
operative part. (Berubari Case)
(Reasons: Not essential for maintaining
constitutional fabric, not a source of power & it
is not mandatory to have a preamble in any
statute)

Lord halsbury say…….

8. Keshavananda Bharati v State of Kerala (AIR
1973 SC 1461): It is an operative part
Anwar Hossain Chowdhury v Bangladesh{ 41
DLR (AD)165}: Operative part

9. SIGNIFICANCE OF THE PREAMBLE
The Preamble bears no legal significance, but it has other important
significance which is sometimes more than the legal importance.
• Great interpretative value and reflection of basic philosophy behind.
• If any provision offers two or more meaning, preamble can be used
to choose the appropriate meaning.
• If the language is clear and unambiguous, it can’t be used to modify
the language of the constitution.
• But a principle laid down in the constitution may not be followed
and that action cannot be attacked simply on the ground of violation
of preamble.
• It comes only to aid only when it is challenged on any other
substantive provision of the constitution.
