Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the constitutional validity of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019, amidst ongoing protests and petitions challenging the legislation. The court emphasized the separation of powers among the Legislature, Executive, and Judiciary, affirming that it is the Judiciary's role to assess the constitutionality of laws. The court noted that while petitions against the Act are pending, there is no stay on its implementation, allowing the law to remain in effect during the judicial review process.
