The State Of West Bengal vs Union Of India

The Supreme Court ruled that the registration of cases by the Union of India after the State of West Bengal's withdrawal of consent under Section 6 of the DSPE Act is unconstitutional and non-est. The Court held that such actions violate the principles of federalism and the basic structure of the Constitution, particularly under Article 131. The judgment affirmed the State's authority to withdraw consent, thereby restraining the Union from proceeding with investigations in the State without such consent.
