Pramble not to be used when words clear

A preamble is a key to the interpretation of a statute but is not or ordinarily an independent enactment conferring rights or taking them away and cannot restrict or widen the enacting part which is clear and unambiguous. The motive for legislation is often reflected in the preamble but the remedy may extend beyond the cure of the evil intended to be removed. R. Venkat Swamy Naidu v. Nawasram Naraindas, AIR 1966 SC 361. No portion of the building shall be occupied or used as a factory, workshop or for storage purposes or as a hotel or for residential purposes or for the preparation or sale of food or drink, except as the licensing authority may by written order permit. The storage shed shall be adequately ventilated near the ground level and also near or in the roof.
