The Supreme Court on Friday said that a seven-judge Bench would soon be formed to hear the cases related to and challenging the constitutional validity of money bills.
The announcement was made by Chief Justice of India D.Y. Chandrachud after Senior Advocate Menaka Guruswamy mentioned the matter before the Bench of CJI Chandrachud, Justice J.B. Pardiwala and Justice Manoj Misra.
The senior counsel, while referring to a case, said that it was about the money bills. The specific challenge was to the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). A seven-judge bench was to be constituted.
Responding to Guruswamy, the CJI said that he was listing all pending seven-judge matters and nine-judge matters for directions next week, adding that he would list this too.
Article 110 of the Indian Constitution defines Money Bill as the one concerning financial matters like taxation and public expenditure. The Bill can neither be amended nor rejected by the Rajya Sabha.
