The only exceptions to this rule are those pertaining to Entries 1, 2, and 18 of the State List and Entries 64, 65, and 66 of that List that are relevant to the aforementioned Entries 1, 2, and 18.


(b) Subclause (a) has no bearing on Parliament's constitutionally granted authority to enact laws pertaining to any subject affecting a Union territory or any portion of one.
The law made by Parliament, or, if applicable, such earlier law, shall prevail and the law made by the Legislative Assembly shall be void to the extent of any repugnancy in any provision of a law made by the Legislative Assembly concerning any matter that is repugnant to any provision of a law made by Parliament regarding that matter, whether passed before or after the Legislative Assembly law, or of an earlier law, other than a law made by the Legislative Assembly 

With the caveat that any such law passed by the Legislative Assembly that has been set aside for the President to review and ratify will take precedence in the National Capital Territory:
Furthermore, it is further provided that nothing in this subclause will prohibit Parliament from passing legislation on the same subject at any time, including legislation that modifies, adds to, or repeals the Legislative Assembly's original legislation.
