Question

Can you find any instances when the implementation of a law has been questioned by the judiciary?

Answer 1

1. NJAC Act (2015): The Supreme Court struck down the law related to the appointment of judges, stating that it affected judicial independence.
2. Aadhaar Act: The Supreme Court examined its implementation and raised concerns about privacy and the protection of citizens’ personal data.
3. Motor Vehicles Act: The Supreme Court clarified the rules regarding driving licences for transport vehicles to remove confusion in the implementation of the law.

These examples show that the judiciary checks whether laws are implemented according to the Constitution and protects citizens’ rights.
