SC settles jurisdictional dispute; says it cannot hear NAB cases, transfers them to FCC
The ruling also referred to arguments that the Supreme Court should not surrender its jurisdiction come what may, with the judges observing that courts could “not play to the gallery” for admiration, popularity and media commendations or for public perception, instead of adhering to the law and Constitution. The duty of the court was to follow the law and not make decisions or assume a jurisdiction motivated by media mileage or public consumption, the bench noted. “We are fully conscious and also sanguine that neither the court should assume the jurisdiction not vested in it by law nor it should abdicate its jurisdiction so vested under the law, rather, the jurisdiction is decided by the Constitution and the law itself.
