SC refuses to hear PIL challenging passage of law leading to repeal of 187 statutes

The Supreme Court Monday refused to entertain a PIL challenging the passage of the Repealing and Amending Act of 2016 which scrapped 187 “obsolete” laws including the one that had nationalised Bharat Petroleum Corp Ltd (BPCL), then known as Burmah Shell. “If the House has adopted a particular Bill then it is passed,” said the bench comprising Chief Justice U U Lalit and S Ravindra Bhat.
