COMMENTS
A law is special
when it is different from others of the same general kind or designed for a
particular purpose or limited in range or confined to a prescribed field of
action or operation. It relates to either particular person, place or thing
which though not particularized, are separated by any method of selection from
the whole class to which the law might be applied.A special law applies only to
an individual or a member of individuals out of a single class similarly
situated and affected, or to a special locality. Dowry Prohibition Act,
Narcotic Drugs & Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985 are examples of special
laws.
