1. The Indian Constitution ordains a structure of governance
wherein   the   three   organs   of   the   State   are   entrusted   with
independent functions.  The Legislature legislates on the law, the
Executive puts the law into execution and the Judiciary being the
sentinel on the qui vive reviews and enforces the law in light of its
primary role as the guardian of the Constitution.  Thus, we the
1
[7/1, 17:52] Sekarreporter: approach is impermissible. Be that as it may, we are leaving this
contention   open   as   it   is   beyond   the   limited   scope   of   our
consideration   herein.   We   deem   it   fit   to   desist   from   dilating
thereon in this judgment.   The petitioners herein may raise all
other issues not dealt with in this judgment in relation to the
validity of State enactments in the other pending cases arising
from   the   decision   of   the   High   Court,   including   by   getting
themselves impleaded therein.
56. In light of the aforesaid discussion, we hold the 2019 Act to
be a legitimate legislative exercise and find it to be consistent
with   and   within   the   four   corners   of   Article   254   of   the
Constitution of India and also of the High Court judgment. 
57. Thus, we dismiss the present batch of writ petitions.
58. Interlocutory applications, if any, shall also stand disposed
of in view of the aforesaid discussion. We pass no order as to
costs.
