S.G. Vombatkere and Anr vs Justice K.S. Puttaswamy (Retd.) and Ors

Bench: 5 — A.M. Khanwilkar, Dhananjaya Y Chandrachud, Ashok Bhushan, S. Abdul Nazeer, B.R. Gavai

In Brief

Review petitions challenged the correctness of the Puttaswamy (Aadhaar-5J.) judgment regarding whether the Aadhaar Act was a 'Money Bill' under Article 110. The majority dismissed the petitions, holding that change in law or subsequent coordinate bench decisions cannot themselves constitute grounds for review. However, a dissenting judge argued the petitions should remain pending pending a larger bench's decision in Rojer Mathew that had specifically expressed doubts about Puttaswamy's analysis, citing principles of judicial consistency and the rule of law."
