ABDUL AZIZ vs STATE OF W.B.

The Supreme Court examined the constitutional validity of Section 1(4) of the Terrorists and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act, 1987 (TADA Act), challenging its legality post-expiration of the Act. The Court held that the provision does not violate Articles 14 and 21 of the Constitution, as the TADA Act includes a specific saving clause allowing trials to continue. The majority decision in Kartar Singh v. State of Punjab affirmed the TADA Act's constitutionality, distinguishing it from previous rulings, and upheld the classification of offenders under the Act as reasonable and valid under Article 14.
