Supreme Court of India is funny…
- First comes, Rajesh Sharma and Ors Vs State of UP and Anr on 27 July, 2017 [2-judge Supreme Court Division Bench sets up Family Welfare Committees]
- Then comes, Social Action Forum for Manav Adhikar and another Vs Union of India on 14 September, 2018 [3-judge Supreme Court Full Bench disbands Family Welfare Committees]
- And now comes, this judgment. [2-judge Supreme Court Division Bench (includes CJI) endorses Family Welfare Committees]
I am sure, this Judgment will be rescinded as it violates the principle of precedence and goes against the 3-Judge decision and did not even mention the earlier higher bench decision.
