Lamer, CJ. of Canada once described preamble while
interpreting
judicial
Indents
to
Hall
the
independence
Castle
of
as
the
“the
Grand
Constitution”.
(Provincial Court Judges (1997) 3 SCR 3).
Our preamble clearly spells the backgrounds, and
objectives
of
this
Republic.
The
Framers
of
the
constitution clearly stated this philosophy, aims at
objectives of the constitution and to describe the
qualitative aspect of the polity the constitution is
designed
to
achieve.
(Anwar
Hossain
Chowdhury
V.
Bangladesh, 34 DLR(AD)1).
Therefore,
the
Framers

the
constitution
intended to bring about the result which the literal
construction
produces
and
the
court
while
interpreting the constitution is required to search
for
a
meaning
in
conformity
with
the
spirit
the
objectives of the constitution as indicated in the
preamble. It is because the substantive provisions
have
been
spelt
out
to
achieve
the
objects
and
purposes. The words ‘historic struggle for national
liberation’
mentioned
in
the
preamble
clearly
indicated that our Parliament would not do anything
