Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the constitutionality of Part XIV of the Finance Act, 2017, and the associated rules, emphasizing the need for the Ministry of Law and Justice to implement prior directives from landmark cases such as Union of India v. R. Gandhi [(2010) 11 SCC 1] and L. Chandra Kumar v. Union of India [(1997) 3 SCC 261]. The Court reiterated that all tribunals should ideally be overseen by a single nodal ministry to enhance their efficiency, as previously directed in L. Chandra Kumar. The Court directed the Government of India to file an affidavit regarding the implementation of these directives within two weeks.
