Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed multiple writ petitions concerning the validity of certain government actions under Article 14 and Article 21 of the Constitution of India. The Court established that any action taken by the government must adhere to the principles of fairness and reasonableness, ensuring that no arbitrary decisions are made that infringe upon the rights of individuals. The Court held that the impugned actions were unconstitutional and directed the government to revise its policies accordingly, thereby upholding the rule of law.
