# 62 Understanding Non Obstante Clauses

In legal drafting, some phrases carry the power to silence every other provision—and the non obstante clause is one of them. Often introduced with the words “Notwithstanding anything contained in…”, this clause acts like a legal override button. It ensures that when two rules clash, one emerges unquestionably supreme. Understanding this small but mighty tool is essential for anyone navigating statutes, contracts, or court judgments.

What Is a Non-Obstante Clause?

A non obstante clause typically starts with:

“Notwithstanding anything contained in…”

In simple terms, it means:

• This rule applies even if other rules say something different.
• This clause overrides any conflicting provisions.

Simply put:
“Forget what the other rules say—this one comes first.”
It acts as a priority rule that governs in case of inconsistency.
Also called Overriding Clause

Purpose of a Non-Obstante Clause

• Prevent contradictions between provisions
• Establish one rule as superior
• Ensure clarity when overlapping provisions exist
• Remove interpretive ambiguity
• Protect specific legislative intent

How Courts View Non-Obstante Clauses

Courts recognise their strength but limit their scope. They interpret these clauses:

• Narrowly: only to the specific conflict they address
• Contextually: to avoid nullifying unrelated provisions
• Harmoniously: ensuring consistency with constitutional principles

The Supreme Court in Union of India v. G.M. Kokil explained that a non-obstante clause overrides contrary provisions within the same or another statute.
In Orient Paper and Industries Ltd. v. State of Orissa, the Court described such clauses as expressions of “the widest amplitude”, capable of overriding statutory, judicial, or customary rules—subject only to the Constitution.

Illustrative Example from Statute

Section 32A of the NDPS Act provides:

“Notwithstanding anything contained in the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 or any other law for the time being in force, no sentence awarded under this Act shall be suspended, remitted, or commuted.”

Here, the clause ensures that NDPS sentences cannot be reduced—even if the CrPC normally allows suspensions or remissions.

Daily-Life Example

Society Rule: “Guests are not allowed after 10 PM.”

New rule:

“Notwithstanding anything contained in the earlier rules, emergency guests are allowed at any time.”

Meaning:

• The 10 PM rule still exists
• Emergency guests are exempt
• The new rule overrides the old one in emergencies

Legal-Style Example

“Notwithstanding anything contained in any other rule of this society, the President may allow the community hall to remain open till midnight for festivals.”

This clearly gives the President’s decision precedence over conflicting rules.

Can You Start a Clause With “Non-obstante”?

Many people wonder if they can write:

❌ “Non-obstante any other rule…”

The answer is: No.

Here’s why:
• “Non obstante” is a Latin phrase
• Modern legal drafting does not use it
• The standard legal expression is:

✅ “Notwithstanding anything contained in…”

followed by the rules or provisions you want to override.
This is the correct and accepted form in legal agreements, bylaws, contracts, and statutes.

Correct Drafting Format

Always draft as:

“Notwithstanding anything contained in…”
followed by the rules or provisions you want to override.

Example:

“Notwithstanding anything contained in the existing rules of the Society…”

This ensures clarity and enforceability.

Different Drafting Styles for ‘Notwithstanding Anything Contained…’

Non obstante clauses can be tailored in multiple ways. Below are the most widely used formats:

1. Broad, All-Encompassing Override

Format: Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement…

Use: When the clause must override the entire document.

Example: Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, the Company may terminate the contract without notice in cases of fraud or wilful misconduct.

2. Limited Override (Specific Provisions Only)

Format: Notwithstanding anything contained in Clause X or Clause Y…

Example: Notwithstanding anything contained in Clauses 5 and 7, the Tenant may sublet the premises for up to three months during renovation.

3. Override of Specific Rules / Acts

Format: Notwithstanding anything contained in any other rule/regulation of this Society…

Example: Notwithstanding anything contained in these Rules, the President may permit the community hall to remain open till midnight during festivals.

4. Conditional Override

Format: Notwithstanding anything contained herein, if [event occurs]…

Example: Notwithstanding anything contained herein, if the Employee suffers permanent disability, full benefits shall become immediately payable.

5. Section-Specific Override

Format: Notwithstanding anything contained above/below…

Example: Notwithstanding anything contained above, no refund shall be issued after 30 days.

6. Subject-Matter Specific Override

Format: Notwithstanding anything contained in this Chapter regarding [subject]…

Example: Notwithstanding anything contained in this Chapter regarding procurement timelines, emergency purchases may be made without tender.

7. Override with Exceptions

Format: Notwithstanding anything contained herein, except as provided under Clause X…

Example: Notwithstanding anything contained herein, except as provided under Clause 9, the Supplier shall not be liable for delays caused by force majeure events.

8. Override Affecting Third-Party Agreements

Format: Notwithstanding anything contained in any other agreement between the Parties…

Example: Notwithstanding anything contained in any other agreement between the Parties, confidentiality obligations under this Agreement shall survive termination.

9. Override Connecting to Statutory Compliance

Format: Notwithstanding anything contained herein, applicable laws shall prevail in case of conflict.

Example: Notwithstanding anything contained herein, statutory minimum wages shall prevail in case of inconsistency.

10. Final Supremacy Clause at the End of a Document

Format: Notwithstanding anything contained anywhere in this Document…

Example: Notwithstanding anything contained anywhere in this Document, Clause 18 (Indemnity) shall prevail in case of inconsistency.

Conclusion

Non-obstante clauses are powerful drafting devices that ensure one provision prevails over others. While the classic expression is “Notwithstanding anything contained…”, courts interpret them strictly within the intended conflict. Used carefully, they provide clarity, hierarchy, and conflict resolution in contracts, statutes, and bylaws.

#61 What Kryptonite Metaphore Means in Everyday English

A recent Bigg Boss 19 conversation made the word trend again — humorously. When Gaurav Khanna asked Malti Chahar how she weakened the other group, she explained her strategy. Impressed, Gaurav jokingly said:

“You are their kryptonite.”

But it got misheard or mispronounced as “CryptoNight”, which made Praneet laugh and repeat:

“CryptoNight… ha ha ha… lavangi bomb!”

You are their kryptonite = You are their weakness. You are the one who shakes their confidence or breaks their unity. This moment shows how deeply the metaphor has entered pop culture—even reality shows use it playfully.

Some words travel far beyond the pages they were born in. Kryptonite is one such word — a fictional mineral that leaped out of the Superman universe and settled firmly into everyday language.

The Fictional Origin

The word Kryptonite originates from the Superman stories and was created as a crucial plot device to balance the hero’s invincibility. It first appeared not in the comics but in the 1943 Adventures of Superman radio serial, before making its way into print.

• What it is: A radioactive mineral from Superman’s destroyed home planet, Krypton.
• Its effect: The most iconic form — Green Kryptonite — is dangerously toxic to Kryptonians. It drains Superman’s strength instantly and, with prolonged exposure, can even kill him.
• Its meaning in the story: It is his single, ultimate vulnerability — the only thing capable of bringing the strongest superhero to his knees.

From Fiction to Everyday Speech

The idea of a powerful hero having one devastating weakness resonated so deeply with audiences that the word quickly transformed into a metaphor used across the world.

The Meaning

In modern English, Kryptonite refers to a person’s Achilles’ heel — a specific weakness, flaw, temptation, or obstacle that undermines an otherwise capable individual.

Key Characteristics of the Metaphor

Feature	Description	Example
Unique Weakness	A personal, often specific vulnerability.	“Chocolate chip cookies are her Kryptonite.”
Overwhelming Effect	The weakness overpowers every other strength.	“The opposition's fast break offense has always been this team's Kryptonite.”
Synonym	A dramatic, pop-culture alternative to “Achilles’ heel.”	“Public speaking is his Kryptonite.”

Why the Word Stuck

Kryptonite became universal for three reasons:

• Immediate Clarity: Almost everyone knows Superman, so the reference is instantly understood.
• Dramatic Effect: It is more colorful and expressive than simply saying “weakness.”
• Pop Culture Power: Decades of comics, films, and shows have cemented it into global vocabulary.

Modern Examples in Conversation

“Chocolate is my Kryptonite — I can’t resist it.”

“Deadlines are his Kryptonite.”

“Overthinking is her Kryptonite.”

“Monday mornings are my Kryptonite.”

---

Hindi Meaning of Kryptonite of Kryptonite

Kryptonite = किसी की कमजोर कड़ी / वो इंसान या चीज़ जो आपको कमजोर बना दे।

Examples in Hindi:

• “तुम उनकी kryptonite हो — तुम्हारे आते ही उनका गेम बिगड़ जाता है।”
• “Pressure उसकी kryptonite है।”

---

How You Can Use ‘Kryptonite’ in Your Own Conversations

Here are natural, modern ways to use it:

• “Stress is my kryptonite.”
• “Spicy food is his kryptonite.”
• “You’re his kryptonite—he becomes quiet whenever you’re around.”
• “Monday mornings are my kryptonite.”

---

Why This Word Feels So Powerful

Because it captures a very human truth:

Everyone has a weakness.
Even superheroes.

And naming it—humorously or seriously—makes it easier to understand, admit, and sometimes even overcome.

#60 Confirming Party vs. Consenting Party in a Sale Deed

Property transactions often involve more than just the seller and the buyer. You will frequently find two additional players in a sale deed — the Confirming Party and the Consenting Party. They sound similar, but their legal functions are completely different. This guide breaks them down with real examples so you can grasp the distinction instantly.

1. Who is a Confirming Party?

A Confirming Party is someone who:

• Once had a right or potential interest in the property
• No longer claims that right
• Signs the sale deed to confirm the title of the seller
• Ensures the buyer is protected from future disputes

In simple words:

“The one who once had a right.”

So If we say, A Confirming Party is someone who previously had a right, title, interest, claim, or share in the property, but no longer does. Their signature acts as a legal endorsement that the sale is valid, authorised, and free from any lingering rights.

This person is not selling anything but is confirming that they have no objection or claim over the property being sold. Their signature eliminates any possibility of future litigation.

Why their signature matters

Because they once had an interest, the law expects them to explicitly confirm:

• that their earlier right has been validly relinquished or extinguished,
• that they support the sale, and
• that they will never raise a future claim.

Typical examples

• A co-owner who earlier executed a release deed.
• A legal heir who no longer has any share after a family partition.
• A previous seller in a chain of transactions.
• A GPA holder confirming earlier actions.

Real Example of a Confirming Party

Lakshya Prasad: The Heir Who Confirms the Sale

Facts:
Mr. Ram Prasad, son of Mr. DasaRath Prasad, is selling his ancestral land measuring AC 5-23 guntas in his village. His 19-year-old son, Lakshya Prasad, is not the seller.

However, because Lakshya is a legal heir and may potentially claim rights in the future, he is added as a Confirming Party to the sale deed.

Why he signs:

• To acknowledge that his father has full rights to sell
• To confirm that he will not claim any share later
• To protect the buyer from future heirship disputes by legally baring himself from raising any rights over the land after the sale.

Essence of the role:
➡️ Lakshya once had a future right.
➡️ By confirming the sale, he abandons that right.
➡️ The buyer gets a clean, secure title.

Legal Effect

This safeguards the purchaser and ensures that the title is completely clear — with no heir-based claims surfacing in the future.

2. Who is a Consenting Party?

A Consenting Party is someone who:

• Does not own the property
• Does not sell the property
• But has contractual rights, development rights, or relevant involvement
• Signs only to give formal approval to the sale

In simple words: “The one who never had ownership, but whose consent is legally relevant.”

They don’t confirm title; they simply allow the transaction to proceed.

So we can say that confirming party is:

“The one who didn’t own it — but must agree.”

Means, A Consenting Party is someone who does not have ownership, but whose permission is legally or practically required to complete the sale.

Why their signature matters

Even without ownership, their consent may be essential because of:

• contractual obligations (mortgage, lease),
• statutory requirements (society rules),
• familial rights (spouse consent),
• possessory presence (tenant’s NOC).

Typical examples

• Spouse granting “no-objection.”
• Bank issuing an NOC for mortgaged property.
• Housing society approving the transfer.
• Tenant acknowledging no objection.

Real Example of a Consenting Party

Example 1

The Landowner–Developer Consent That Clears the Way

Facts:
Ms. Sushmita Reddy owns 2 acres of land in Hyderabad. She enters into a Development Agreement with Skyline Constructions Pvt. Ltd., granting them development rights.

Later, Sushmita sells a portion of her undivided share (UDS) in the project to a new buyer.

Since Skyline has development rights, they are added to the Sale Deed as a Consenting Party.

Why the developer must consent:

• They have ongoing construction rights
• Their consent avoids disputes over development obligations
• It assures the buyer that the project will continue smoothly
• It prevents the developer from later objecting to the sale

Essence of the role:
➡️ The landowner sells.
➡️ The developer does not sell but gives formal consent.
➡️ Their consent safeguards the transaction.

Example 2

Savitri Devi: The Co-Owner’s Consent That Makes the Sale Safe

Scenario:
Two brothers, Mr. Mohan Rao and Mr. Raghav Rao, inherited a small commercial shop from their father. Though the property is jointly held, the brothers mutually agreed that Mohan would manage and eventually sell it.

When Mohan decides to sell the shop, Raghav is not a seller—he does not wish to give up his share legally. However, to avoid future litigation and to acknowledge that he has no objection to the sale, he signs the deed as a Consenting Party.

Why this matters:

• Raghav’s signature records that he knows about the sale and supports it.
• It prevents any claim later that the sale was done behind his back.
• It protects the buyer from future disputes arising from co-owner objections.

In short:
➡️ A Consenting Party does not transfer rights but removes objections.
➡️ They safeguard the transaction by giving a formal, written “No Objection.”

---

Adding below a glimps of a sale deed where son in included as consent party:

This is an error in the Draft.

Legally — A Son ≠ Consenting Party

A son or legal heir:

• has a potential future right
• may try to claim the property later
• must therefore give up this future right
• this makes him a Confirming Party, not a Consenting Party

✔ He once had a possible right → Confirming Party
❌ He never had ownership → Consenting Party

A legal heir always falls in the first category.

🔶 Golden Rule: Ignore the Label → Look at the Role

Role of the son:

• ✔ once had a future right
• ✔ now giving it up
• ✔ confirming clean title

➡️ Therefore — he is a Confirming Party, even if the deed mistakenly calls him “Consenting Party.”

✔️ FINAL CLARITY

Situation	Correct Term	What Many Sale Deeds Incorrectly Write
Son/heir signing to avoid future claims	Confirming Party	“Consent Party”
Developer, tenant, spouse giving NOC	Consenting Party	Correctly written

---

3. The Core Difference (One-Line Clarity Rule)

Party Type	Key Meaning	What They Do	Why They Sign
Confirming Party	Once had a right	Confirms they no longer claim it	To perfect the buyer’s title
Consenting Party	Never owned the property	Gives permission / approval	To acknowledge contractual or legal involvement

4. When Your Clients Ask — Explain It Like This

Confirming Party:
“Someone who earlier had a right in the property but now gives it up.”

Consenting Party:
“Someone whose approval matters, even though they never owned the property.”

5. Why This Distinction Matters

• Prevents future claims from heirs
• Protects buyers against title defects
• Ensures developers honour obligations
• Shields sellers from breach-of-agreement disputes
• Aligns with RERA, land laws, and contract law principles

Conclusion

In modern property transactions, clarity is currency. A Confirming Party safeguards the past, while a Consenting Party safeguards the process. Understanding the difference ensures your drafting is tight, your title is clean, and your client is protected.

# 59 Can I Be the Devil's Advocate ?

In the Weekend Ka War episode of Bigg Boss 19, a strikingly gentle moment appeared amid the chaos. While consoling Ashnoor, actor Gaurav Khanna asked —

“Ashnoor, can I be a Devil’s Advocate?”

At first the phrase sounds dramatic, even sharp. But its real meaning is far from negative. This post explains the phrase in simple terms for general readers, explores its legal origin and use, and provides a short moot-court scene that shows how a Devil’s Advocate functions in practice.

What it means for a general reader

To “be a Devil’s Advocate” is to deliberately take the opposite side of an argument — not to attack someone, but to help them see gaps or blind spots in their thinking. In everyday life a Devil’s Advocate challenges a view kindly so the person can think more clearly and strengthen their position.

When Gaurav asked Ashnoor that question, he wasn’t being harsh. He was offering a different perspective — a compassionate way of helping her examine her feelings and the situation from another angle.

Origin of the Phrase “Devil’s Advocate”

The phrase “Devil’s Advocate” comes from the Latin term advocatus diaboli, which translates to“advocate of the devil.” The phrase is not meant to be taken literally — it does not describe someone who supports evil. Instead, it began as an official role within the Roman Catholic Church.

When the Church considered declaring someone a saint, it followed a careful process called canonization. Two opposing roles played a part in this process:

• God’s Advocate (advocatus Dei) — presented the person’s good deeds, virtues, and any claimed miracles.
• Devil’s Advocate (advocatus diaboli) — challenged those claims by questioning the evidence, pointing out weaknesses, and raising doubts about the life or miracles attributed to the candidate.

This formal challenge was not meant to be hostile; it was a safeguard. The Church believed that only when a candidate’s virtues could stand up to rigorous criticism should they be declared a saint. In short, the Devil’s Advocate ensured the canonization process was thorough, fair, and unbiased.

Over time the phrase left its strictly religious setting. Today, a Devil’s Advocate is anyone who takes a skeptical or opposing stance — not to defeat an idea, but to test its strength and help reveal blind spots.

Legal perspective

In law, the idea is embraced as a tool for rigorous thinking: lawyers, judges, and students may take a contrary position to test the strength of reasoning, expose weak links in arguments, and improve the quality of decision-making. It is, in short, a device that safeguards truth through scrutiny.

Example: A short moot-court scene

Judge: Counsel for the petitioner, please begin your argument.

Petitioner’s Counsel (Aarav): My Lord, the restriction imposed by the university on students’ social media speech violates Article 19(1)(a) of the Constitution — the right to free speech.

Judge: Very well. Respondent, your turn.

Respondent’s Counsel (Meera): My Lord, the restriction is reasonable under Article 19(2), as it maintains discipline and public order within the campus.

(Both sides finish their arguments.)

Professor (acting as Moderator): Good arguments. But before we conclude, I’d like someone to play the Devil’s Advocate — question both sides.

Riya (Devil’s Advocate):

• — Aarav, if every student freely criticizes university rules on social media, won’t that disrupt order and defame the institution?
• — Meera, if the university can silence online criticism, what stops it from silencing legitimate grievances too?

(The hall goes silent — both counsels realize gaps in their arguments.)

Why the example matters

In the scene above:

• Riya does not take a permanent position for or against either side — she tests both viewpoints.
• Her role is to reveal blind spots and prompt each side to tighten their reasoning.She acts as the Devil’s Advocate here, uncovering blind spots and weak links in reasoning.
• Aarav and Meera are real opponents — they genuinely defending their sides.
  Takeaway:

  “The Real Opponent fights to win the argument. The Devil’s Advocate fights to strengthen it.”

  Life lesson

  Whether in TV conversations, friendships, classrooms, or courtrooms — a Devil’s Advocate is not necessarily negative. Often, the person who questions you does so to help you think harder and arrive at a truer conclusion. If offered kindly, such questioning is a gift.

# 58 Justifiable vs. Justiciable

---

The words “justifiable” and “justiciable” may look similar, but they come from different roots and belong to different spheres — one moral, the other judicial. Let’s break them down clearly. 👇

---

1. Justifiable

Root Word:

• From Latin justificare, meaning “to make just” (from justus = just + facere = to make or do).
• Later adopted into Old French (justifier) → English (justify).

Meaning:
Something that can be defended or excused as right, reasonable, or lawful.

Usage Context:
Used in moral, ethical, or legal settings to describe whether an action can be defended as proper or legitimate.

---

Example 1: Self-Defense

Scenario: A homeowner is confronted by an intruder breaking into their house late at night. The homeowner pushes the intruder, causing them to fall and break their wrist.

Explanation: The homeowner's use of force would likely be deemed justifiable because they acted in self-defense to protect themselves and their property from a perceived threat. While an injury occurred, the action was a reasonable and lawful response to the imminent danger.

Key takeaway: The act was justifiable because it had a legitimate, defensible reason behind it (self-preservation).

---

Example 2: Financial Necessity

Scenario: A company is forced to lay off a large portion of its staff due to a sudden, catastrophic loss of revenue caused by a global economic downturn.

Explanation: The company's action of conducting mass layoffs, while painful, would be considered justifiable if it was done to prevent the entire company from going bankrupt. The decision is defensible not on moral grounds of wanting to harm employees, but on the pragmatic and financial grounds of necessary survival.

Key takeaway: The decision was justifiable because the company had a compelling, reasonable, and unavoidable necessity (financial collapse) that outweighed the negative impact of the action itself.

If summaries the examples:

• The use of force was justifiable in self-defence.
• His absence was justifiable due to a medical emergency.
• A justifiable reason means a reason that can be accepted as fair or legitimate.

In Law:
An act is justifiable if it falls within a legal defence or exception — for example, “justifiable homicide” when committed in lawful self-defence.

📘 Etymological Insight:
Think of “justifiable” as “able to be made just.” It’s about moral or legal defensibility, not necessarily something decided by a court.

---

2. Justiciable

Root Word:

• From Latin justitia (justice) + suffix -able, meaning “able to be.”
• Derived from justiciabilis, meaning “liable to trial in a court of justice.”

Meaning:
Something that is fit to be decided by a court of law; capable of being adjudicated or settled through judicial authority.

Usage Context:
Used in constitutional and administrative law to determine if a matter can be brought before a court.

---

Example 1: Fundamental Rights

Scenario: A citizen claims that a new government regulation violates their constitutionally guaranteed right to freedom of speech.

Explanation: This dispute is inherently justiciable. It involves the interpretation and enforcement of a **legal right** (a Fundamental Right) guaranteed by the Constitution, and courts are specifically empowered to review government actions against these rights.

Key takeaway: The issue is justiciable because it requires the court to interpret and enforce established law and legal rights.

---

Example 2: Political Question (Non-Justiciable)

Scenario: A lawsuit is filed asking the court to determine the optimal budget allocation between the Department of Education and the Department of Defense.

Explanation: This issue would be held **non-justiciable** (the opposite of justiciable). Budget allocation is typically considered a **"political question"** that falls within the exclusive discretion of the legislative and executive branches. Courts avoid interfering in matters that lack judicially manageable standards and are better addressed through the political process.

Key takeaway: The matter is non-justiciable because it involves political policy and discretion, not the interpretation of a specific legal right or obligation that courts have the power to enforce.

If we summaries the examples:

• Fundamental Rights are justiciable under Articles 32 and 226 of the Constitution.
• Directive Principles of State Policy are non-justiciable, meaning not enforceable by courts.
• The court held the issue non-justiciable as it involved political discretion, not a legal right.

In Law:
A matter is justiciable if it involves a legal right or obligation that courts have the power to interpret or enforce. Some matters (e.g., political questions or policy decisions) are non-justiciable..

📘 Etymological Insight:
“Justiciable” literally means “able to be brought to justice.” It relates to the jurisdiction of courts — whether something can be adjudicated judicially.

---

Simple Contrast

Word	Root Origin	Focus	Meaning	Example
Justifiable	Latin justificare → “to make just”	Moral / Legal justification	Can be defended as right or reasonable	“His act was justifiable under the circumstances.”
Justiciable	Latin justitia → “justice”	Legal adjudication	Can be decided by a court	“The dispute is justiciable under Article 131.”

Quick Usage Tips

• Justifiable — ask: Can this be defended as reasonable?
• Justiciable — ask: Can a court decide this?
• Non-justiciable — often used for political questions or policy choices outside judicial review.
