Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Constitution (Ninth Amendment) Act, 1960, which facilitated the transfer of certain areas, including Berubari Union No. 12 and Chilahati village, to Pakistan as per the Indo-Pakistan Agreements. The Court found that the language of the Amending Act was clear and capable of implementation, rejecting the appellants' claims regarding the confusion in the Act and the inadmissibility of their evidence. The Court affirmed the High Court's dismissal of the writ petition challenging the legality of the transfer, thus validating the legislative action under Article 143 of the Constitution.
