Common Cause A Registered Society vs Union Of India

The Supreme Court addressed the validity of Rule 10(1) and Rule 10(4)(i) of the Search Committee Rules under the Lokpal and Lokayuktas Act, 2013, finding that subsequent amendments rendered the petitioner's grievances moot. The Court emphasized the need for timely implementation of the Act, which has not been executed since its notification on January 16, 2014. The Court held that the absence of a Leader of Opposition in the Selection Committee does not invalidate the provisions of the Act, thereby dismissing the writ petition.
