In a landmark decision, Supreme Court has ruled that convicted individuals are ineligible to contest elections to parliament and state assemblies even if they file appeal.

Then most of the MPs and MLAs won't contest in the future elections. :P

Question- Does supreme court has the power of making law?
Ans- No, Supreme Court has no power of making law. In our country laws are made in parliament and no one can interfere in this process, not even the people who elect the 'respected' members of different houses. SC can give a ruling but a vested party would make them take their ruling back. If our supreme court finds something wrong with any department or our government, it may only warn such departments to make necessary amendments but cannot make their own laws. The SC must work within lawbook made by parliament and not enforce their own lawbook on parliament or our would be 'honorables' - because they find a way to take such rules back by same courts very soon.

They will file petitions to withdraw decision. They will find loopholes as usual.
