Article 142: SC overrules its 2018 verdict, says there can't be automatic vacation of stay orders of trial courts, HCs
The Supreme Court of India has overturned an apex court judgement in 2018, ruling that stay orders passed by lower courts or high courts in civil and criminal cases cannot stand vacated automatically after six months. The court ruled that such a direction "virtually amounts to judicial legislation." The five-judge constitution bench, headed by Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud, also ruled that constitutional courts should refrain from fixing a deadline for disposal of cases by courts below.
