Supreme Court Advocates-On-Record ... vs Union Of India

The Supreme Court addressed the validity of the Constitution (Ninety-Ninth Amendment) Act, 2014 and the National Judicial Appointment Commission Act, 2014, asserting that these laws potentially alter the basic structure of the Constitution. The Court determined that substantial questions of law regarding constitutional interpretation are involved, warranting referral to a larger bench as per Article 145(3). The petitions were not decided on merits, and the Court declined to grant interim relief at this stage.
