BHIM SINGH vs U.O.I

The Supreme Court examined the constitutional validity of the Members of Parliament Local Area Development Scheme (MPLAD Scheme) under Articles 275 and 282 of the Constitution of India. The Court held that the MPLAD Scheme does not violate the Constitution as it allows MPs to recommend works for public purpose, thus aligning with the legislative powers granted to Parliament. The Court emphasized that the scheme is a legitimate exercise of the Union's powers and does not constitute an abdication of responsibility. The petitions challenging the scheme were dismissed, affirming its constitutionality.
