Sedition law | Government can’t speak on Parliament’s behalf, says Supreme Court

I

The Government's affidavit asking the Supreme Court to keep the sedition case pending during the reconsideration of the colonial law does not agree with a Constitution Bench judgment, which held that the Government cannot speak for or make promises to the court on behalf of Parliament.

While the Bench led by Chief Justice of India N.V. Ramana said it "respects the government's word", Justice Surya Kant, speaking from the Bench, made it a point to observe that "the government cannot give guarantees on behalf of the Parliament".
