The Supreme Court on Friday rejected a petition at the admissions stage challenging the Insurance Amendment Bill, 2009. The Bill seeks to abolish the commissions paid to insurance agents and instead charges a fee on that basis.
The reason for rejecting the petition was quite simple; it is only a BILL and not a LAW yet. Only when a Bill is passed by the parliament or legislature does it become law and then only can it be challenged in a Court of law. It’s something they teach you at the first year of law school, and even if they dont teach it to you, you learnt it by yourself the moment you read Article 13.
I found it really hilarious and equally ridiculous on reading the article here. Shouldnt our lawyers know atleast this much or have the standards in the Supreme Court bar fallen this much ?
