V. Vasanthakumar vs H.C. Bhatia And Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the need for structural reforms in the Indian judicial system, particularly concerning the grant of special leave to appeal under Article 136 of the Constitution. The Court referenced the Law Commission's 14th Report, which cautioned against a liberal approach to such grants, as it could undermine the prestige of High Courts. The Court favored the establishment of a Constitutional Division within the Supreme Court, tasked with adjudicating matters strictly related to constitutional law, as proposed in the 95th Report of the Law Commission.
