Supreme Court Judgements
Over the years
the Supreme Court of India has passed numerous judgments
that significantly impact, adversely & otherwise, the
followers of Dharma namely Sanatan, Bauddhic, Jaina
and Sikh. So esamskriti thought it would be a good idea
to create a database of such judgments.
In case you are aware of a judgment that we should upload
please mail Sanjeev Nayyar giving nature of issue, year
of judgment, name of judges etc. His id is exploreindia@vsnl.net.

Repeals the Illegal Migrants (Determination by Tribunals)
Act, 1983, July 2005 - Assam has been a

on the suspected foreigners. Demographic composition
of many districts has changed due to infiltration.

the Act. To read judgment - Click
