Laws that never come into force!

Though this is not a strictly human rights related question, but many human rights legislations have faced a situation where the legislature duly passes a law to be enforced when notified by the government - which never happens. The most famous law that met with such fate was the Constitutional amendment which amended Article 22 and made preventive detention more difficult. Fali Nariman talks interestingly of the executive frustrating the legislative will.
