The Supreme Court of India is the country’s apex court and the final place for an appeal. Its judgments are binding on all other courts, and it serves as the final interpreter of the Constitution.
The Supreme Court came into existence on 26 January 1950, the day the Constitution came into force. The first Chief Justice of the Supreme court was Justice H.J. Kania. Consisting of the Chief Justice of India and 30 other judges, it has extensive powers in the form of original, appellate and advisory jurisdictions. As the final court of appeal, the Supreme Court takes up appeals primarily against verdicts of the high courts of various states of the Union and other courts and tribunals. It safeguards fundamental rights of citizens and settles disputes between various governments in the country.
I have seen this process first hand and that too in the city where the scam was unearthed in 2019. Let me share that advocates are still using loopholes. Rather than breaking FDs they simply sit on the compensation cases and those are not forwarded until a percentage of compensation amount sought is made to them. It is a an utterly shameful attitude of the “sarkari” system which still keeps behaving like it works for some British babu. What the Center is trying to avoid is just one specific way of scam but then loophole still exists ! It is strange that biometric based disbursal for compensation is not done !
