Annulment of the 16th Amendment
We are lucky that the Supreme Court escaped being subordinated to the parliament. The 16th Amendment to the Constitution was designed to raise the spectre of impunity and reckless abuse of power.
We thank the members of the amicus curiae for performing their role as the guardian of the nation. The verdict of the Supreme Court scrapping the 16th Amendment will remain etched in gold letters. Chief Justice SK Sinha and all the honourable justices of the appellate division deserve national gratitude for this historic verdict.
