THE Supreme Court on Friday reserved its verdict on a batch of pleas challenging the inclusion of the words "socialist" and "secular" in the Preamble to the Constitution.
During the hearing, the bench observed the 1976 amendment to the Constitution, adding terms "socialist", "secular" and "integrity" to the Preamble, underwent judicial reviews and it cannot say whatever Parliament did during the emergency period was all nullity.
A bench comprising Chief Justice Sanjiv Khanna and Justice Sanjay Kumar reserved its verdict on the batch of pleas filed by former Rajya Sabha MP Subramanian Swamy, advocate Vishnu Shankar Jain and Advocate Ashwini Kumar Upadhyay, saying that it would pronounce its order on the issue on November 25.
