Circumvent

To find a clever way of avoiding or overcoming an obstacle, rule, or difficulty, especially by going around it rather than confronting it directly; to get around (a regulation or obstacle) by ingenuity or trickery. In governance, 'circumventing' legal processes — through ordinance raj, certification of Money Bills to avoid Rajya Sabha scrutiny, or regulatory arbitrage — is a recurring subject of judicial and parliamentary scrutiny. The Supreme Court in Anuradha Bhasin v. Union of India (2020) held that indefinite internet shutdowns cannot be used to circumvent judicial oversight of fundamental rights restrictions.
