“Many People Don’t Even Know This Exists”: Supreme Court Highlights Parliamentary Route for Law Reforms

The Supreme Court highlighted that citizens seeking legal reforms have a constitutional route available through Parliament, observing that many people are unaware of this mechanism.

The Court noted that individuals can petition Members of Parliament or parliamentary committees for legislative changes instead of directly approaching courts for every policy-related issue.

The observations were made while hearing a matter seeking directions for legal reforms.

The Bench emphasized the importance of democratic and parliamentary processes in shaping legislation and remarked that law-making primarily falls within the domain of the legislature.
