In Gramophone Company of India Ltd v. Birendra Bahadur Pandey (1984), what did the Supreme Court say about the place of rules of international law in Indian municipal law?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Gramophone Company (1984) said that "The comity of Nations requires that Rules of International law may be accommodated in the Municipal Law" even without express legislative sanction, so long as they do not conflict with Acts of Parliament. National courts will endorse international law but not if it conflicts with national law. International law does not override a clear statute.
