Writ Petition (Civil) No. 94 Of 2000 | 16-03-2000

1. The petitioner relies upon Article 368 of the Constitution of India while
seeking to challenge the resolution of the Government which has set up a
Commission to review the Constitution and to make suitable recommendations
for any possible changes. Article 368 does not come into play at this juncture.
The resolution dated 22-2-2000 is only an administrative decision of the
Government asking for recommendations on the basis of which further action
may or may not be taken. In our opinion, the provisions of Article 77 on which
reliance is placed, also does not come into the picture.

2. This writ petition is dismissed with these observations.

Court Masters.
