Today, On 16th December, Supreme Court issued notice to the Lok Sabha Speaker and Parliament secretariats on Justice Yashwant Varma’s plea challenging constitution of a three-member inquiry committee. While flagging procedural lapses, the Court questioned how such an oversight occurred during impeachment proceedings.
The Supreme Court ruled 2:1 that the Air Force School in Bamrauli is not a “State” under Article 12 of the Constitution, meaning contract employees cannot seek regularisation through writ petitions. The majority opinion emphasized the school’s private management, while the dissent highlighted its public function in education and significant control by the IAF.
