Union Of India vs Rajasthan High Court & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the Rajasthan High Court's directive to exempt Chief Justices and judges from pre-embarkation security checks under the Aircraft Act, 1934 and the Aircraft Rules, 1957. The Court held that the exemption for judges is justified to maintain the independence of the judiciary and ensure the efficient functioning of the judicial system. The judgment of the Rajasthan High Court was stayed, and the Union Government was directed to consider the implications of such exemptions in the context of national security.
