Can a new bill stop already granted court benefits?
A court has granted contractual service benefits on December 17, 2024, but the government passed a bill on February 7, 2025, to stop these benefits. Can this bill be applied retrospectively to already decide court matters?
A new law cannot generally take away benefits already granted by a court unless it explicitly has retrospective effect. Even if the bill is retrospective, it must be reasonable and not violate fundamental rights. You can challenge the law in court on the grounds of vested rights and judicial finality. Consult a lawyer to assess if a writ petition can be filed against the retrospective application.
If the court has already granted you benefits, a new law usually cannot take them away unless it clearly applies retrospectively. You can challenge this law in the High Court or Supreme Court if it unfairly affects you. File a writ petition to protect your rights. Speak to a lawyer quickly to check how this law applies to your case and take action.
Sir, the bill passed by the government on February 7, 2025, cannot be applied retrospectively to court matters already decided. Court decisions are final unless appealed or reviewed. It is advised to consult an expert lawyer who will assist you with the best course of action. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
