Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court examined the constitutional validity of 'The Goa (Prohibition of Further Payment and Recovery of Rebate Benefits) Act, 2002', challenging its compliance with Articles 14 and 19(1)(g) of the Constitution. The Court held that the Act impermissibly seeks to nullify a prior judgment of the Supreme Court and the High Court, which is contrary to established legal principles regarding legislative power to override judicial decisions. Consequently, the Court declared the Act unconstitutional, affirming the rights of the petitioners under Article 32.
