Notable Judgment
The notable judgments are:
Kesavananda Bharati vs. State Of Kerala and Anr ((1973) 4 SCC 225; AIR 1973 SC 1461)
In the instance case, a 13-judges bench of Supreme Court held that while Parpament had the authority to change the Constitution, including the chapter on fundamental rights, this authority was not unrestricted. The "Basic Structure" of the Constitution was exempt from parpamentary amendment. He gave this judgment right before he was about to retire. It s interesting to note that some people claim the proceedings in this case were subjected to a "artificial pmitation" because of Sikri J. s approaching retirement. In order to avoid having a new Chief Justice hear the case, the Court did not want the proceedings to go on for too long. Furthermore, some argued that Sikri J. "popticized" a majority by passing around a single-typed page on the bench. The nine judges signed the page to attest that the majority was correct.
RC Cooper vs. Union of India (1970 AIR 564, 1970 SCR (3) 530)
In this instance case, Justice Sikri contributed to the majority judgment written by Justice Shah, who ruled that a director or shareholder could not ask the court to defend the fundamental rights of a corporation unless it could be demonstrated that the contested action also infringed his rights.
Vivian Rodrick vs. State of West Bengal (1971 AIR 1584, 1971 SCR (3) 546)
According to Sikri J, a court s failure to act promptly in circumstances involving death sentences is a good reason to commute the sentence. He agreed that the six-year wait had been extremely painful for those who had been constantly afraid of dying.
Likewise, Justice Sarv Mittra Sikri was one of the best lawyers in the nation and ruled over a number of famous cases without considering the poptical repercussions of his decisions. He was one of the few chief justices in India to protect the judiciary from poptical meddpng and Prime Minister Indira Gandhi s vested interests during her 15-year autocratic dictatorship.
