Writ Courts Can Suo Motu Strike Down Subordinate Legislation Which Violates Fundamental Rights & Biding Precedents : Supreme Court

The Supreme Court clarified that writ courts have the suo motu power to strike down subordinate legislation that violates fundamental rights and binding precedents. This ruling reinforces the judiciary's role as the guardian of constitutional rights. It empowers High Courts to independently review and invalidate rules or regulations that are inconsistent with the Constitution or established legal principles. This ensures that subordinate legislation remains within the bounds of the supreme law and judicial pronouncements.
