PREAMBLE AND ITS IMPORTANCE IN INTERPRETATION OF THE CONSTITUTION

As its word of origin suggests, preamble is n preliminary or an introductory statement to any act or legislation, in this case to the constitution of India. It is indicative of the philosophy, purpose, uses, principles, objectives, ideas and aspirations for the preceding law. Preamble is considered as a blue-print of the forward act.
