Status Update - NCCPA vs Union of India & Others, Validation Act, 25, in Hon. Supreme Court.
The matter was listed as Item No. 39 before Court No. 6 of the Hon’ble Supreme Court. Upon the matter being called out, Mr. Singh informed the Court that the Petitioners' Association predominantly consists of pensioners above 80 years of age and that the impugned legislation has the effect of diluting the settled legal position laid down in D.S. Nakara and subsequent judgments. Emphasising the urgency on account of the advanced age of the pensioners, Mr. Singh requested that the matter be taken up for hearing. However, owing to the absence of the learned Attorney General, the Hon’ble Court directed that the matter be listed in the second week of May, at the top of the board, at the request of Mr. Singh.
