Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the appellant's writ petition seeking compensation after the abolition of the Rajasthan Taxation Tribunal under the Rajasthan Taxation Tribunal Act, 1995 and the Rajasthan Taxation Tribunal (Repeal) Ordinance, 1999. The Court ruled that the appellant's tenure as Chairman ceased automatically with the Tribunal's abolition, and the validity of the Ordinance was not challenged. The Court clarified that the Cabinet's decision regarding compensation was discretionary and not enforceable by the High Court, affirming the lower courts' decisions.
