Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the validity of extensions granted to the respondent No.2 in his tenure as Director of Enforcement, along with challenges to amendments made to the Central Vigilance Commission Act, 2021, the Delhi Special Police Establishment Act, 2021, and the Fundamental (Amendment) Rules, 2021. The court scrutinized whether such extensions and amendments violated constitutional principles or statutory provisions. The court ultimately upheld the validity of the amendments and the extensions, emphasizing the need for administrative flexibility within constitutional bounds.
