Just Society vs Union Of India & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of various provisions of the Lokpal and Lokayuktas Act, 2013, specifically Sections 3(2)(a), 4(1)(d), 4(1)(e), and others, rejecting the petitioner's claim that these sections are ultra vires Articles 14 and 50 of the Constitution. The Court emphasized that the absence of primacy for the Chief Justice's opinion in the selection process does not render the provisions unconstitutional, as legislative discretion in such matters is permissible. The petition was dismissed, affirming the validity of the Act's provisions regarding the appointment of the Lokpal's Chairperson and Members.
