C.R. Jaya Sukin vs Union of India — Inauguration of new Parliament building

The Supreme Court has decided not to hear a legal request that aimed to force the President of India to inaugurate the new Parliament building. The judges stated that they do not have the authority to interfere in this matter. Because the court refused to take up the case, the request was dismissed. This means the court will not be involved in deciding who performs the opening ceremony for the building.

The Supreme Court has rejected a legal challenge that questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurating the new Parliament building. The court decided not to intervene in the matter, effectively allowing the inauguration to proceed as planned. This means the legal attempt to stop the Prime Minister from opening the building was unsuccessful, and the court found no reason to change the current arrangements.

A person has filed a petition in the Supreme Court arguing that the new Parliament building should be opened by the President of India rather than the Prime Minister. The petitioner believes the President is the head of the country and should perform the ceremony. The court will now decide whether to hear this case. This update means there is a legal challenge regarding who has the official authority to inaugurate the new building.

A lawyer has filed a petition in the Supreme Court arguing that the President of India, rather than the Prime Minister, should have inaugurated the new Parliament building. The petitioner claims that the President is the head of the country and the formal head of Parliament, making them the appropriate person for the ceremony. The court will now consider whether to hear this case and decide if the government followed proper protocol during the opening.
