The doctrine of severability means that if part of a law or contract is found invalid, the rest can still remain effective.
The doctrine of severability means that if part of a law is found to be unconstitutional, only that bad part is removed, and the rest of the law stays valid—as long as it can still work without the removed part.
This doctrine helps save the good parts of a law even if some part of it is wrong or against the Constitution.
The Doctrine of Severability is a principle in Indian constitutional law that ensures if a part of a law is found unconstitutional, only that specific part is struck down, while the rest of the law remains valid. This doctrine is rooted in Article 13 of the Indian Constitution, which declares that laws inconsistent with fundamental rights are void to the extent of such inconsistency. There are certain landmark cases which talks about this Doctrine. In the A.K. Gopalan v. State of Madras (1950) and R.M.D. Chamarbaugwalla v. Union of India (1957) have reinforced this doctrine, demonstrating its application in safeguarding fundamental rights while maintaining the integrity of the law.
The doctrine of severability refers to the idea that if part of a statute or law is found to be unconstitutional or invalid that time the law is not end that time only the end of this part are wrong. only accept that part are valid.

The doctrine of severability, also known as the separability doctrine, is a legal principle that allows a contract or law to remain enforceable even if some parts are found to be invalid or unconstitutional. If a provision is deemed invalid, it can be "severed" or removed, leaving the remaining valid portions in effect. This principle helps to preserve the original intent of the parties or lawmakers while avoiding the invalidation of the entire contract or law.
The doctrine of severability, also known as the doctrine of separability, is a legal principle that allows courts to strike down only those parts of a law that are unconstitutional or in conflict with fundamental rights, rather than invalidating the entire statute. If the offending provision can be separated from the rest of the law without affecting its functionality, only that part is declared void, and the remaining valid portions continue to operate. However, if the invalid part is so intertwined with the rest of the statute that it cannot be separated, the whole law may be struck down. This doctrine ensures that constitutionally sound aspects of legislation are preserved while protecting citizens’ fundamental rights
