Pramble not to be used when words clear:- A preamble is a key to the interpretation of a statute but is not or ordinarily an independent enactment conferring rights or taking them away and cannot restrict or widen the enacting part which is clear and unambiguous. The motive for legislation is often reflected in the preamble but the remedy may extend beyond the cure of the evil intended to be removed. R. Venkat Swamy Naidu v. Nawasram Naraindas, AIR 1966 SC 361.
