Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the constitutional validity of The Recovery of Debts Due to Banks and Financial Institutions Act, 1993. The petitioners challenged the Act on the grounds that it was unreasonable, violated Article 14 of the Constitution, and exceeded the legislative competence of Parliament. The Court analyzed whether the specialized machinery created by the Act for debt recovery was constitutionally permissible.
