Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the validity of the Srimati Radhika Sinha Institute and Sachchidanand Sinha Library (Requisition & Management) Act, 2015, which was challenged by the appellant. The High Court of Patna had upheld the Act, and the Supreme Court reviewed the historical context and legislative intent behind the Act. The Court affirmed the High Court's decision, holding that the Act was constitutionally valid and did not violate any fundamental rights or principles of natural justice. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, maintaining the statutory framework for the management and requisition of the Institute and Library.
