Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the provisions of the Maharashtra Act of 1961 and the Hyderabad Act 21 of 1950, ruling that they are immune from challenges under Articles 19(f) and 31 of the Constitution. The Court noted that the Constitution (Seventeenth Amendment) Act, 1964, inserted entries related to these Acts in the Ninth Schedule, providing them full protection against any constitutional challenges. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the validity of the legislative enactments despite prior judgments questioning their assent requirements.
