Appeal (civil) No. 481/1980

L. Chandra Kumar VS Union of India and others

Power of judicial review vested in Supreme Court and High Court is an integral and essential feature of the Constitution constituting part of its inviolable basic structure-Tribunals created pursuant to Articles 323A and 323B cannot exercise power of judicial review of legislative action to the exclusion of High Courts and Supreme Court-They cannot act as substitutes for High Courts and Supreme Court - However, they are competent to test the vires of statutory provisions except the legislation which creates the particular Tribunal and they may perform a supplemental role in this respect: but their decisions will be subject to High Courts writ jurisdiction under Article 226/227 before a Division Bench-No appeal will directly lie before Supreme Court under Article 136- These directions will apply prospectively - Theory of alternative institutional mechanism, reviewed.
