6.2.4.1. Motor General Trades v/s State of A.P. 1984

♤ If a valid section of a law can be separated from the invalid section and the valid section can be considered to form an independent statute, then this section remains valid.

♤ If the valid and invalid sections are so mixed up that they cannot be separated then the whole is declared void.

♤ After omitting the invalid part, if what remains is very thin and what emerges out is something different, then the entire law is invalid.
