What is Article 142, invoked by SC to overturn Chandigarh mayoral poll results? 🔗
#explained_law #express_explained

Bhopal Gas Tragedy case 1991

Deeming the power under Article 142 to be “at an entirely different level and of a different quality”, the court clarified that “prohibitions on limitations on provisions contained in ordinary laws cannot, ipso-facto, act as prohibitions or limitations on the constitutional powers under Article 142”. Adding that it would be “wholly incorrect” to say that powers under Article 142 are subject to express statutory prohibitions, the court reasoned that doing so would convey the idea that statutory provisions override a constitutional provision.
In 1998, the apex court in ‘Supreme Court Bar Association vs Union of India’ held that the powers under Article 142 are supplementary in nature and could not be used to supplant or override a substantive law and “build a new edifice where none existed earlier”.

Prem Chandra garg and actually are landmark cases

Right Way to Study Recent Judgments is only by connecting with the landmark citations by the judgment itself.

When histories of nations are written and critiqued, there are judicial decisions at the forefront of liberty. Yet others have to be consigned to the archives, reflective of what was, but should never have been.”

Great Judgments are those which restores the constitutional values, landmark judgment is one which opens up new direction in constitutional thinking

Judicial Decision Does Not Infringe Fundamental Rights : Supreme Court
https://www.livelaw.in/top-stories/judicial-decision-does-not-infringe-fundamental-rights-supreme-court-250128

Supreme Court has no power of superintendence over High Courts

Dismissing the writ petition, the Supreme Court observed :

"There is no provision in Chapter-IV (titled The Union Judiciary) under Part-V (The Union) of the Constitution of India which, in terms similar to Article 227 of the Constitution (Power of superintendence over all courts by the High Court) under Chapter-V thereof, confers power of superintendence on the Supreme Court over the High Courts."

💡The Court referred to the precedent in

Tirupati Balaji Developers (P) Ltd. Vs. State of Bihar 2004

which held that in our constitutional scheme there is a clear division of jurisdiction between the two institutions (Supreme Court and High Courts) and both the institutions need to have mutual respect for each other.

The Court noted that it has been laid down in Naresh Shridhar Mirajkar Vs. State of Maharashtra that "a judicial decision rendered by a Judge of competent jurisdiction ( jurisdiction due to writ of certiorari and prohibition in Article 32) in or in relation to a matter brought before him does not infringe a Fundamental Right."

👨‍⚖️ National Anthem rules

It is not possible to give an exhaustive list of occasions on which the singing (as distinct from playing) of the Anthem can be permitted. But there is no objection to the singing of the Anthem accompanied by mass singing so long as it is done with due respect as a salutation to the motherland and proper decorum is maintained.

Supreme Court Explains Scope Of Judicial Interference In Arbitral Awards
https://www.livelaw.in/supreme-court/supreme-court-clarifies-arbitrator-authority-contract-terms-interpretation-arbitral-awards-arbitration-conciliation-act-238496

The Bench distinguished between the concepts of justice and morality. When an Award shocks the conscience of the court, for example where the claimant has restricted his claim but the arbitral tribunal has awarded a higher amount without any reasonable ground of justification, that would be against justice. However, morality would cover illegal and unenforceable agreements but interference would be only if warranted if something shocks the court’s conscience
