AMRIK SINGH LYALLPURI vs UNION OF INDIA .

The Supreme Court examined the constitutional validity of Section 347D of the Delhi Municipal Corporation Act, 1957, which allows appeals from the Appellate Tribunal to be heard by the Administrator of Delhi. The Court held that such a provision undermines the independence of the judiciary, as it permits an executive authority to review decisions made by a judicial officer. Consequently, the Court declared Section 347D unconstitutional, reinforcing the principle of separation of powers as enshrined in Article 50 of the Constitution of India.
