A judicial principle where a law inconsistent with fundamental rights becomes “inoperative” rather than nullified. If a subsequent amendment or removal of conflict occurs, the law revives (the “eclipse” is lifted). For instance, pre-constitutional laws that violate Article 13 do not die; they remain dormant for violating rights of citizens but can be valid for non-citizens or once the conflict is resolved. This doctrine preserves legislative intent while prioritizing fundamental rights. It differs from total invalidation—ensuring that legal provisions can be rehabilitated upon constitutional compliance, reflecting the dynamic interplay between old statutes and evolving constitutional norms.
