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 clarified that the absence of primacy for the Chief Justice's opinion in the selection process does not render the provisions unconstitutional, emphasizing legislative discretion in such matters. The Court concluded that the legislative intent behind the Act is not constitutionally impermissible, thereby dismissing the petition.
