Union Of India vs Parashotam Dass (2023) SCC Online SC 31

Administrative Law By 0

The Supreme Court in Union of India v. Parashotam Dass unequivocally reaffirmed that judicial review under Article 226 forms part of the Constitution’s basic structure and cannot be excluded by the Armed Forces Tribunal Act. By clarifying that Article 227(4) restricts only administrative superintendence, the Court restored doctrinal clarity, preserved constitutional remedies, and recalibrated the balance between tribunal autonomy and judicial oversight.
