Today, On 6th May, The Supreme Court refuses to interfere with the bench setup, dismissing the plea filed by convicts challenging the appeal hearing arrangement.
Justice Surya Kant criticized a 1981 Supreme Court reference questioning the Chief Justice’s authority regarding Aligarh Muslim University’s minority status, labeling it “bad in law.” He emphasized judicial integrity, asserting that a two-judge bench cannot challenge larger bench rulings, and highlighted the Chief Justice’s role in maintaining judicial clarity and authority within the system.
