'''Harmonious construction''' is a principle of [[statutory interpretation]] used in the [[Law of India|Indian legal system]]. It holds that when two provisions of a legal text seem to conflict, they should be interpreted so that each has a separate effect and neither is redundant or nullified.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/800640012|title=The Indian Constitution|last=Khosla|first=Madhav|publisher=[[Oxford University Press]]|year=2012|isbn=9780198075387|location=New Delhi|pages=57–59|oclc=800640012}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=6paAbw4DKbYC&pg=PA5&lpg=PA5|title=Interpretation Of Statutes|last=Kafaltiya|first=A.

The doctrine of Harmonious construction given by Tondonsana Khoirom states that when two provisions of the same law appears to be giving out contrary views, instead of overruling or repealing any one of those provisions, the courts must bring together both the provisions and interpret it in a way that defeats none, therefore the name harmonious construction.<ref>{{Cite web|title=What is the meaning of Harmonious Construction?|url=https://strictlylegal.in/doctrine-of-harmonious-construction-with-case-laws/|url-status=live|website=Strictlylegal}}</ref><br />
