Constitutional validity of the the proviso to Clause (26AAA) - Proviso excludes from the exempted category, “Sikkimese women” who marries a non-Sikkimese after 01.04.2008 - Scope of the definition of “Sikkimese” in Section 10 (26AAA) - the proviso is inherently arbitrary and discriminatory against a particular category of Sikkimese women. In other words, the Explanation to Section 10 (26AAA) of the I.T. Act, 1961 includes both Sikkimese men as well as women. Such being the interpretation, in my view, the proviso is antithetical to the Explanation and the Section as well. - The proviso to Clause (26AAA) of Section 10 of the I.T. Act, 1961 is struck down as being in violation of Articles 14 and 15 of the Constitution of India. - SC
