This was stated by Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, who appeared for the Central Government before a bench led by Chief Justice DK Upadhyaya and Justice Tushar Rao Gedela.

Mehta explained that although the President has signed the Act, it hasn't officially come into force yet. Once the government issues a formal notification, it will begin forming the authority and drafting the rules.

The judges pointed out that the law hasn't officially taken effect yet, so the fears of petitioners are premature. They said the government is expected to establish the authority and create rules, and that it's too early to assume otherwise.
