During today’s hearing, the CJI asked what survived in the matter, after Attorney General for India R Venkataramani said that the Commission has been formed.
“80 per cent work is left,” Upadhyay contended, to which Justice Narasimha replied,
“Left or done? Maybe left before the Commission.“
The Court then disposed of the plea.
“The directions sought by the petitioner necessarily requires a writ of mandamus to be issued to parliament in its legislative capacity. Law is clear that this cannot be done as it will be entering legislative domain,” the order stated.
Upadhyay did not press the prayer directing the Commission to prepare reports, and asked the bench for liberty to file a representation before the body in that regard.
“Why do you need an order from us?“, the CJI asked.
