It protects basic rights of citizens and settles debates between various government authorities as well as the central government versus state governments or state governments versus another state government in the country.The law announced by the supreme court becomes irrevocable on all courts within India and also by the union and state governments. As per Article 142 of the Constitution, it is the duty of the President of India to impose the edict of the supreme court and the court is conferred with the immanent jurisdiction to pass any order considered necessary in the interest of justice.
