Amrik Singh Lyallpuri vs Union Of India & Ors

The Supreme Court examined the constitutional validity of Section 347D of the Delhi Municipal Corporation Act, 1957, and its implications on the appeal process from the Appellate Tribunal to the Administrator of Delhi. The Court held that allowing appeals from a judicial authority to an executive authority undermines the independence of the judiciary, thus violating the principles of separation of powers. The Court ruled that such provisions are unconstitutional, emphasizing the necessity for judicial decisions to be reviewed by a judicial authority rather than an executive one.
