Two recent judgments in crucial cases have seen the Supreme Court bank on the government’s assurances to set things on track.
The first came from a Constitution Bench headed by Chief Justice of India D.Y. Chandrachud, which decided to rest easy on the back of an assurance given by the Solicitor General, representing the Union government, that Statehood will soon be restored to Jammu and Kashmir.
In the second judgment, a three-judge Bench also led by the CJI took the word of the Solicitor General, this time representing the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), that its investigations against the Adani group will be completed expeditiously.
