In Brief
This case involved a petition seeking implementation of the Whistle Blowers Protection Act, 2011, which had been enacted and assented to by the President but not yet brought into force. After extensive judicial supervision of administrative measures for whistle-blower protection spanning years, the Court found the issue had been adequately addressed. The Government informed the Court that proposed amendments addressing perceived deficiencies in the Act were pending Parliamentary approval. The Court disposed of the petition, holding it premature to adjudicate on amendments not yet finally enacted, while preserving the petitioner's right to challenge the eventual legislation after Parliamentary enactment.
