Tomorrow, at 10.30 a.m., Justice G.S.Singhvi will deliver the judgment in Suresh Kumar Kaushal v. Naz Foundation (SLP (c) 15436/2009) at Court No.1. Justice Singhvi also retires from the Supreme Court tomorrow. We have followed the Delhi High Court judgment in the case closely. It will be of interest to know how Justice Singhvi approaches the issue of standing of the petitioners in this case, as the UOI did not appeal against the High Court judgment.

I would be very surprised if the Court overturned the High Court ruling when the Union itself did not defend its law (and when pushed by the court, expressed substantive agreement with the High Court position).
