State resolutions on Central laws are fine: Supreme Court
Why is it in news?
- The Supreme Court prima facie found no harm in State Legislative Assemblies, such as those in Kerala and West Bengal, passing resolutions against Central laws.
More findings:
- The court was hearing a PIL, that said State Assemblies, such as of Rajasthan and Kerala have no business passing resolutions against Central laws.
- The central laws come under the Union List of the Seventh Schedule of the Constitution.
- A Bench, led by Chief Justice said these resolutions are merely “opinions” of the majority members of a Legislative Assembly and do not have the force of law.
- The hearing mostly focused on the resolution passed by the Kerala Assembly on December 31, 2019, criticising CAA as a law violating the right to equality.
